According to the police, the New Airport Colony where the incident was reported shares it boundaries with Bamanwada slums and the residents of the slums frequently cross the line and come in a group to spend some time. "On Saturday night, a group had come to celebrate a birthday party of a slum resident at the colony premises and later the group began drinking on the open ground which was found objectionable to Mahilwal and the security guards of the colony. When they approached the men to stop drinking and leave the colony premises, the group indulged into a verbal spat followed by a heated argument and then a scuffle. The situation became intense after a while and the group began thrashing Mahilwal and the guard." said a police officer of Vile Parle police station.
"When other residents of the colony reached the spot and alerted the police, the group left from there to escape arrest. The duo were later taken to Nanavati hospital where they sustained hairline fractures and minor injuries. During the probe, some leads were obtained in the case which further led to the arrests made. A case has been registered under section 323 of the Indian Penal Code and further probe in the case is underway." the officer added.
