A video of a fatal attack on a 55-year-old man on a Mumbai local train has gone viral on the internet. A farmer from Sajivali village in Shahapur taluka, Dattatray Bhoir was brutally attacked by two perpetrators with a knife and a belt onboard a local train between Khadavli and Vasind railway stations late at night on April 28. He succumbed to his injuries four days later.
On the night of April 28, Bhoir was returning home with his friend Pradeep Shirose and two others after attending a friend’s Haldi function in Ulhasnagar. They boarded a Kasara-bound local train from Shahad station at 2:00 am. Bhoir and his friends were sitting in the general compartment of the local train.
An investigation into the incident revealed that a misunderstanding that the victim and his friends were making fun of the attackers, also sitting in the same compartment, led to the brutal attack. Bhoir’s friend also sustained injuries in the attack.
“Since we all four friends were making fun of each other and enjoying ourselves loudly, one of the four persons standing near the door got irritated and angry. He came to us, took out a knife and opened an attack on us. Bhoir tried to resist him. The attacker then attacked Bhoir on his stomach and hand. When I tried to stop him, he injured my stomach too. Later, the attacker’s associate also attacked us using his belt,” Shirose told police in his statement, according to the Indian Express.
Police have arrested two accused while the search for the other two is underway. The attackers were identified as 40-year-old Amol Pardeshi and 21-year-old Tanji Kumar Jammuwal. A case has been registered against the accused under sections 302, 324, 337 and 34 of the IPC. A case of assault was earlier registered against one of the accused.
