As he and his friends were walking by the road, he happened to brush past a man who was walking from the opposite direction.
This led to an argument between the two men even as their respective friends joined in the argument.
The argument turned into a scuffle during which one man from the other group pulled out a knife and repeatedly stabbed Ishtiaq in the chest and limbs.
The victim collapsed on the floor even as his friends managed to escape the attack.
His friends returned moments later to find Ishtiaq showing no movement in his limbs. The suspects had already fled by then.

Doctors told police that he died of excessive bleeding.
A murder case was registered based on the statement of one of his friends who was present at the crime scene.

Raids at other brothels as well as other possible hideouts too are being conducted in a bid to nab the culprits.
