"When I entered my home, Raghu demanded that he be allowed to meet my sister. When I rejected his request, he pulled out a paper knife and slashed at my nose," Kamlesh told police.
The front portion of his nose fell to the ground and he let out a cry of pain which drew his mother and some other relatives to the crime spot.Raghu and his friends allegedly thrashed Kamlesh's mother and stabbed one of their relatives in his arm.
The assailants tried to escape after the crime, but Raghu and one other person Vikas were nabbed by the neighbours who had by then gathered outside the house on hearing the screams for help.Two others managed to escape.
Raghu and Vikas were thrashed by the mob even as someone informed the police. A PCR van arrived at the spot to shift Kamlesh and the other injured to hospital.
The suspects have been booked for the crime. Reported by Deccan Herald 1 day ago.
