Two constables attached to the Shivaji Nagar police in Govandi were assaulted by four men with bamboo sticks and a cricket bat on April 1 afternoon.

The group of men were loitering aimlessly on the road amid a nation-wide lockdown. An officer attached to the police station told mid-day, "When the on-duty constables Santosh Kadam and Jagtap asked them the reason for being on the road, the four men started to argue. One of them picked a bamboo stick and assaulted the constables," said the officer.
