The woman raised an alarm and crowd gathered at the spot. Panchal apologised to the woman and offered to get her phone fixed.
“The matter was sorted and Panchal was leaving from the spot when the two accused - Manish Shinde and Mahesh More, who were sitting in an auto nearby, started assaulting him. On the pretext of handing him over to the police, they forcibly made Panchal sit in the auto and took him to a lonely place. They brutally assaulted him and snatched valuables and Rs 10,000 cash from Panchal,” the police officer said.
