A 32-year-old man was stabbed to death allegedly by an auto-rickshaw driver at suburban Goregaon during a fight over the victim teasing and taunting the latter, police said on Thursday.
The incident took place on Tuesday night in the Hanuman Tekdi area and the deceased was identified as Mukesh Zanjare (32).
