The police said when Janjhua requested the accused, Rahul Vasant Hande, to move his bike, the latter refused to and an argument ensued. Hande first punched, then kicked the Janjhua. Then he picked up a stone from the ground and hit Janjhua on his leg twice, causing severe injuries to both knees. Janjhua phoned the police control room to inform about the incident. At this, Hande called his three associates to assault Janjhua. “Together, the four men attacked him with a knife, bamboo sticks, and even iron rods,” said senior inspector Ajay Joshi from Mulund police station.
