The incident took place in the early hours of Wednesday in Shukrawar Peth. Senior Inspector Rajendra Mokashi, in-charge of Khadak police station, said, "Around 6 am, we received a call from the victim's house, alerting us that the accused had stabbed him and tried to kill him. Until this incident, even the victim's family didn't know that he was gay, even though they lived in the same neighbourhood. The victim had married a woman 25 years ago, but got divorced within a year. The family was shocked to learn that he was gay and was in a relationship with the accused."
