An on-duty constable witnessed the fight and took both of them to the police station. After the matter was sorted out, both of them were asked to return to the station the next morning.

The passenger arrived early and a non-cognisable complaint (NC) was filed against Prasad. Prasad arrived at the police station with his daughter, Shweta, 23, and son, Arun 22. He was angry when he learnt that an NC had already been filed against him.

Prasad, Shweta and Arun began to assault the passenger. Police sub-inspector Mohini Kapile was called to resolve the fight, but Shweta attacked her.

Senior police inspector Sanjay Dhumal, who intervened, was also attacked by Prasad.

Prasad and Shweta were both booked for physically assaulting the inspectors and are in police custody.
