A minor dispute took a violent turn in Sakar Uday area of Vijay Nagar when a group of miscreants attacked a jeweller’s son and his friends with sticks and iron rods under the jurisdiction of Kotwali police station. The incident left Aniket Patil seriously injured, while two others also sustained injuries. Aniket was rushed to Metro Hospital for treatment. According to police, 18-year-old Aniket Patil, a resident of Sathiya Kuan in Hanumantal, runs SK Jewellers in Sarafa Bazaar with his father, Shahji Patil. At around 10 pm, Aniket was sitting in Vijay Nagar with his friends Aman Barman and Sahil Khan when he received a call from another friend, Harsu Jagdale, who lives in Sakar Uday. Harsu informed him that some neighbours were abusing his mother.

 

On receiving the call, Aniket, accompanied by Aman and Sahil, immediately reached Harsu’s residence on a scooter to resolve the dispute. However, as they arrived outside the house, Vicky Thakur, Mahipal Singh Rajput and two other men, who were already present there, became aggressive. They accused Aniket of coming there to fight and began abusing him. When Aniket objected, the four accused attacked him repeatedly with an iron rod, causing serious injuries to his legs. Harsu Jagdale and Aman Barman, who intervened to stop the assault, were also attacked and sustained serious injuries to their heads and hands. After the assault, the accused damaged the scooter and managed to escape from the spot. Following information about the incident, police reached the spot and gathered details from the injured.
