In the first incident shortly before Tuesday midnight, two painters were allegedly attacked by goons at Ambedkar Chowk. It’s learnt that Ramavtar Rajput and Nilesh Ganvir were heading to their residence at Kushi Nagar after work.
On the way, Singh and Ganvir raised objection after a group of around six people on two bikes grazed past them. The group returned to confront Singh and Ganvir. One of them pulled out a knife and started stabbing Ganvir.
