An Indian businessman who made headlines in 2013 for purchasing one of the world's most expensive dress made  of gold has been murdered  in western India, according to a report Friday.

Datta Phuge gained fame when he ordered a customized gold shirt worth 12.7 million rupees, around $240,000 dollars at the time.

It was made up of 14,000 pieces of 22-carat gold, weighed 3.32 kilogrammes (7.3 pounds) and was put together by 15 craftsmen over 16 days. Police said Phuge, believed to be in his mid-40s, was attacked and killed by 12 assailants brandishing stones and sharp weapons on Thursday night after one of the suspects had invited him for a party, according to the Press Trust of India (PTI) news agency.
