In his complaint to police, Aman, a colony resident, said on Saturday night, his wife was returning home after fetching water. The street was blocked by Mangal, Rahul and Rishi. So, she asked them to step aside to allow her to pass. But instead of moving, they hurled abuses at her.

Later, the trio, along with Mangal’s mother, reached their house. Aman alleged that as he stepped out to talk to the men, Mangal stabbed him with a knife and his wife was assaulted by the other accused.

Before fleeing, the accused also snatched their mobile phones and a pendant that fell on the ground amid the assault.
