Eight people have suffered injuries after some assailants from a rival group attacked them using pistol, knives, and iron rods near Tungareshwar Phata on the Mumbai-Ahmedabad Highway in Naigaon (East) on Wednesday afternoon. 

“The incident occurred in the presence of officers who had been to the location to conduct a panchnama related to an attempt-to-murder case registered at the Naigaon Police Station just a day earlier,” a senior officer said.
