It all started when 22-year-old Mumbra resident Abdul Khalid approached his eight-year-old neighbour and tried to initiate a conversation with her. She complained to her brothers Nisar Shaikh, 24, and Wasim Shaikh, 22, and the duo picked up a fight with Khalid over the issue. Soon, things took an ugly turn and the brothers started assaulting Khalid.

When his 75-year-old grandfather Yunus Ali Sayyed intervened, the duo pushed him. Sayyed fell on a broken wall and plunged three floors down. After a complaint was filed, and the Mumbra police arrested the brothers and produced them in court. They have been remanded in police custody till July 10. "Sayyed, who recently lost his wife, was staying with his grandson at Rashid Compound in Mumbra. The family is of the opinion that Khalid was just talking to the child and had even invited her to his house, but her family took it the wrong way,” said a police officer.
