I still don’t know why he [Chetan Gala] stabbed me. The memories of that day still haunt me and give me nightmares,” said 52-year-old Prakash Waghmare, while recalling the March 24 attack. “I am scared of this place [their society] and have decided to leave this city,” he told mid-day. Angered by his estranged family’s refusal to return, Gala went on a stabbing spree in the passageway of Parvati Mansion in Grant Road, killing three neighbours and leaving two hurt.
