Amid the ongoing 10-day-long Ganeshotsav, an 18-year-old boy from Kalyan in Thane district was beaten up allegedly by four persons for failing to gather a crowd for a procession, a police official told PTI on Thursday.

A Kolsewadi police station official told PTI that Satyam Sohoni had promised he would get people for a welcome procession but stopped taking calls as the Ganesh festival approached.
