Security guards and alleged land mafia henchmen brutally assaulted two people for urinating near the wall of Subodh industrial compound in Vasai East on February 3. Instead of taking action against the assailants, the police allegedly detained the injured victims at the police station for hours. When their parents arrived to demand action against the attackers, the police registered cases against the injured boys and also their family members, naming them as co-assused in the case.

According to sources, when the arrested people were presented in court, their lawyer argued and claimed their arrest was illegal and accused the police of taking one-sided action. After reviewing the matter, the court issued contempt proceedings against the investigating officer, ordered the release of the arrested individuals, and directed the ACP to conduct an inquiry into the matter and submit a report.
