New Delhi: A Mumbai fast-track court is all set to frame charges on Friday in the horrific Keenan-Reuben case of October 2011.

The two youngsters, Keenan Santos and Reuben Fernandez, were stabbed to death by a mob for taking on a man who harassed their female friends. The duo was attacked with choppers by a group of four. While Keenan died on the spot, Reuben died in a hospital later.

The victims along with five others, including three girls, had gone to a bar to have dinner. After a while, they came out of the restaurant and were standing near a pan-shop, when the incident occurred, the police had said.
