New Delhi, Jul 21: A disturbing video of a man being hacked to death with swords by a group of men in broad daylight went viral on Thursday.

A rival gang killed a gangster in full public view in Maharashtra and the whole incident was recorded on CCTV camera. The footage of the gore-filled incident has gone viral.

The unsettling footage was recorded by a camera installed in a neighboring building and the video was leaked on Wednesday evening.

It was soon taken into police custody. A separate probe has been launched to investigate as to how the video got leaked.

The brutality of it took place on Tuesday around 6.15 am. The 33-year-old gangster -- Rafiuddin Shaikh alias Guddya -- had gone for a morning stroll by the river bank.

"After the walk, he stopped by for a cup of tea at a popular stall when at least 10 members of a rival gang suddenly barged inside the shop and shot at him with a country-made revolver," said an official of Dhule Police Control, refusing to be identified.

The bullet form the revolver incapacitated Guddya and he fell down. The assailants pounced on him with swords, hockey sticks and curved swords. Then they began dragging him out of the tea shop.

The CCTV footage shows, while assailants dragged Guddya out, the members of the rival gang attacked him as his blood mixed with rainwater started flowing on the footpath and the road.

As Guddya lay there motionless, at least one man kept attacking him till he was pulled away by an associate. All of them fled before police reached the spot of violence.

The police have established the identities of seven of the 10 attackers. The seven identified are on the run and a manhunt has been launched, the officer said.

The attackers have been identified as Vilas Goyar, his sons Vicky Goyar, Shyam Goyar and Vijay Goyar, their associates Rajendra Devare, Bhima Devare, Dadu Devare.

The prime suspect, the Goyar family, is considered equally notorious in Dhule with its involvement in several crimes and an old rivalry with Guddya.

Guddya, who was out on bail, had more than 35 criminal cases registered in Shirdi, Ahmednagar, Kopargaon, Manmad, Dhule.

Several cases are pending against him of extortion, attempt to murder, rape and murder in several districts of Maharashtra and Madhya Pradesh, the official said.
