If he had committed theft, why not turn him over to the law? What right did they have to beat up my son? Those who murdered my son should never come out of jail,” cried Rama Bansode, the 39-year-old father of Aniket, 17, who was beaten by the security guards at the Powai Metro site, for allegedly stealing pipes. The guards on duty—Umesh Parab, 38, Sujat Ali Naushad Ali, 26, Sachin Mandavkar, 38, and Sandeep Jadhav, 30—have now been arrested. The police said that on Tuesday night, one of the guards saw Aniket stealing a pipe and then beat him up, before leaving him outside a local shop.
