The victim, identified as 26-year-old Akash Kindare, a resident of Uttamnagar, has lodged a formal complaint at the Uttamnagar Police Station. The altercation originated from a dispute between Kindare and the accused, Ganesh Waghmare (22) hailing from Rahulnagar, Shivane, Uttamnagar and Prateek Sanjay Nalavde (24), residing in Ganga Building, Kondhwe Dhawade.
