Two police officers from Bangur Nagar police station allegedly suffered serious injuries after they were assaulted by two men when the officer tried to break up their fight. It was only when help arrived in the form of more policemen that the situation could be brought under control. The police have arrested one of the accused—Ashish Laxmiprasad Chaurasiya, 39—a resident of Virar East while the other managed to flee.

The incident occurred on March 6 near Bhagat Singh Nagar, Goregaon West, when police sub-inspector Mangesh Kendre, attached to the Bangur Nagar police station, and PSI Krishna Kavde left the police station to investigate a case of medical negligence that had resulted in death of 16-year-old girl by a Goregaon-based doctor.
