NAVI MUMBAI:In the road rage incident on Palm Beach Road at Ghansoli, a woman and her minor son were attacked by three drunk men riding triple seat on a bike. After the Rabale police arrested one accused assailant, who was nabbed by passersby, the police on Saturday late evening arrested two more accused who sped away from the crime scene. The two absconding accused arrested have been identified as Ramesh Patel (30), a worker at Santosh Warehouse Taloja MIDC, and Savji alias Shiv Koli (24), a worker at Shiv Enterprises in Mahape MIDC.
The accused Paresh Patel, who was arrested on the spot, is a co-worker of Koli. Investigating officer, PSI Nilesh Wankhede of Rabale police station, informed that the three arrested accused were produced before the Vashi JMFC court, which remanded them to jail custody. Meanwhile, in a road rage incident on Palm Beach Road at Ghansoli on Thursday, a woman, Nikhita Handore (37), accompanied by her 5-year-old son, was travelling in her car towards Koparkhairane when she was waylaid by three drunk men riding triple seat on a bike.
After her car was about to graze their bike, an argument ensued between them. One of the three men broke her car's windshield with an iron rod. As the woman raised an alarm, she was also attacked with the iron rod.
To save her son from getting hurt, she shielded the attack with her hand and sustained an injury. Due to the commotion, a huge crowd gathered at the spot and rescued the woman and her son. The three assailants were beaten up by the crowd, and the Rabale police were informed.
Two of the assailants sped away on the bike, while the third one was detained until the cops arrived and arrested him. Balkrushna Sawant, Senior Inspector of Rabale, said, "The complainant woman made her minor son sit with her on the driving seat, and while driving the car, her son was holding the steering when the car slightly veered to the left. She was about to graze a bike passing by, but she took control of the wheel.
However, three men on the bike parked in front of her car and argued with her, claiming that she was about to hit their bike and could have caused them injury." Inspector Sawant said, "The woman also argued with the three men, and it escalated and turned violent. One of the three men brandished an iron rod and broke her car windshield.
She told them repeatedly that the attack with the iron rod could kill her minor son, but the assailants, who were under the influence of alcohol, were reluctant and then attacked the woman with the iron rod.".
