Nashik: An incident occurred on Wednesday night (July 29) in the Shriramnagar slum area along Dindori Road, Panchavati, where a suspected biker verbally abused two brothers and struck one of them on the head with a chain. Rahul Ratan Khaire sustained serious injuries in the attack; based on his complaint, a case has been registered at the Panchavati Police Station against the suspect, Aniket (full name not available).
