The Shivaji Nagar police booked four minors for attacking a 22-year-old with swords and knives for overtaking each other on road.

Owais Khan (22) allegedly had a fight with a minor boy a month ago at 90 feet road overtaking. The boy had threatened to teach Owais a lesson, said his father.

Post this incident, both had an argument again after which Owais's father Changez Khan apologized to the boy for the incident.

On October 27, around 10.30 pm Owais stepped out to bring food from a nearby hotel, but within 15 minutes, Changez received a call saying, his son is being attacked by a few kids with swords and knives. Owais was rushed to Sion Hospital. He sustained injuries on-ear, chest and stomach and is still in severe condition.
