“On December 4 at around 7.15 p.m., Shaikh received a call from his cousin Saud Mujawar, who informed him that he was being assaulted by two people. When Shaikh arrived, he found a large crowd and asked Zaid Bagwan what had happened. Bagwan and three others were enraged by his intervention and attacked Shaikh with a sharp object. When he called for help, his acquaintance Mohsin Patel came forward to assist, urging the attackers to stop the assault and offering dispute resolution through dialogue, according to the FIR.
