The victim, Ranjit Singh, who runs a vada pav and samosa stall in Shivaji Nagar, was taken to KEM Hospital for treatment after the attack.
Singh’s son Aryan was present at the shop during the incident.
Around 8.30 pm, the accused, Lakshmidhar Malik, ordered a samosa cutlet. When asked to pay, he allegedly objected to the price, used abusive language, and created a scene. Though he eventually paid online, the argument escalated. Singh asked Malik to leave and stop abusing, following which Malik allegedly assaulted him. During the scuffle, he bit two of Singh’s fingers, causing bleeding. Singh’s cries alerted his son and staff, who intervened. The victim later approached Dindoshi Police Station, where an FIR was registered.
