Mumbai, November 12 (Daily Kiran) : A violent incident unfolded in the Marol Krishna Nagar area of Andheri East, Mumbai, during Diwali celebrations, as a gang attacked a couple and their young daughter over a fireworks dispute. The assailants, numbering between eight and ten, brutally assaulted the woman, knocking her to the ground and beating her with sticks.
When her husband intervened to protect her, the attackers turned on him as well. The assault left all three family members seriously injured. Following the incident, they were rushed to Balasaheb Thackeray Trauma Care Hospital in Jogeshwari for treatment.
According to police reports, the Gupta family’s daughter was setting off fireworks in a vacant area when Badal Goswami and his gang objected. This led to a heated exchange of insults between the two parties.
The situation escalated quickly, resulting in Badal Goswami and his associates launching a physical attack on the Gupta family. In the course of the assault, the couple and their child sustained significant injuries.
The MIDC police in Mumbai have registered a case against the gang members involved. So far, they have arrested Badal Goswami, along with Dharmendra Rajbhar, Jitendra Rajbhar, and Shyam Narayan Gupta. Authorities are still on the lookout for additional suspects who fled the scene.
This incident follows another tragic event in Mumbai’s Vile Parle, where an 18-year-old was murdered during a fireworks dispute on the night of Diwali. Police apprehended two suspects and took a minor into custody in that case.
