Five arrested for fatally assaulting brother of cop
Hindustan TimesMumbai: Five men have been arrested for allegedly lynching the brother of a police officer with hockey sticks mistaking him for a robber. The watchmen tried to stop Lahane by flashing a mobile torch light towards him, but since Lahane was drunk, he did not pay heed. Anil Awhad, senior police inspector of Kasturba Marg police station, said the victim, identified as Pravin Lahane, is a resident of Nashik and had arrived in Mumbai on Thursday to meet his family and friends. At 1.30am, when a drunk Lahane tried to enter the Shahi building at Carter Road Number 5 in Borivali east by jumping across the boundary wall of a demolished structure adjacent to it, the Gandhi father-son duo who stay in the adjacent building alerted the watchman and the residents of the building. “There was no one with him, his brother Prakash Lahane was not even aware he had arrived in Mumbai,” said Awhad.
