15 Mumbai men beat Lonavala resort staff over mutton, one in ICU

“The incident took place when a group of 15 men from Mumbai had come to stay at the resort. On the afternoon of March 26, the group came for lunch and asked for mutton dishes to be served. When the resort staff told them they were out of mutton, the group started creating a ruckus,” said an officer from Lonavala Rural police station.

The men first kicked and punched Bhoir and hit her on the head with a plastic chair and then attacked cook Mahesh and helpers Sandeep and Nitin. The group also attacked staff member, Saurabh Dattatray Gore, and punched and kicked him after he fell on ground.

“Gorhe, who sustained blows to the pelvis and abdomen, was rushed to a hospital where doctors found out that he had sustained a tear in the bladder. He is currently being treated in the ICU,” said the officer from Lonavala Rural police station.

The police have invoked sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) pertaining to attempt to murder, voluntarily causing grievous hurt, voluntarily causing hurt or grievous hurt by dangerous weapons or means, and intentional insult with intent to provoke breach of peace, among others.
