A teenager and his friend were attacked by three people at a garden adjacent to Upvan Lake, Thane, on Sunday night. Residents claim lack of police presence in the area has led to a rise in hooliganism in the area. Vartak Nagar police have arrested an accused and detained two minors in the case.

The incident took place around 9.45 pm when Ali Anis Qureshi, 19, a resident of Cosmos Hill housing society adjacent to the lake, had gone out to the park to shoot a video of him playing kalimba. His friend Arush Rawal was recording the video when one person approached them and asked what they were doing there.
