A 25-year-old was beaten up and thrown into a nullah at Ghatkopar during the wee hours of Thursday. The deceased has been identified as Ganesh Mhaske, a resident of Sainath Nagar in Ghatkopar West. The cops have identified four accused who were involved in the incident and are suspecting the involvement of a suspended police sub-inspector in it. However, no arrests have been made yet. The police have said that the incident happened over a petty issue. Sources revealed that the suspended PSI had orchestrated the attack as the deceased had been making advances to his niece.

According to information shared by the Mumbai police, on the night of June 19, Mhaske was standing with some of his friends near New Amar Bharat Seva Mandal in Sainath Nagar. Around 1.30am, on Thursday, an Innova arrived at the spot. The passengers allegedly got into a scuffle with Mhaske over moving his bike aside so that they could drive ahead, which ended with Mhaske being badly beaten.
