They attacked Mulik and his friend, including Ganesh Jadhav. During the fight, one of the accused opened fire and the bullet hit Jadhav. Two others also sustained injuries after they were attacked with sharp weapons.

“The main accused in the case, Shubham Rajpure, is a history-sheeter who was previously booked in 13 criminal cases including murder, attempt to murder, robbery, extortion and illegal possession of firearms.
