The victim sustained serious injuries and is currently undergoing treatment at a hospital. The incident took place under the jurisdiction of Vishrambaug Police Station and has been captured on CCTV.

The CCTV footage shows two young men riding a bike. Realising they were being chased, they stopped near the Z Bridge. At that moment, five to six assailants on motorcycles attacked them with koytas. Although the duo attempted to flee, other attackers lying in wait nearby caught up with them and assaulted them again.
