Overview
- Kurla police say the January 18 evening incident on New Mill Road involved a dispute over parking that escalated into a violent attack.
- Three BJP workers — Akash Singh, Aditya Panse and Aseem Singh — were injured, with Singh in critical condition after being struck on the head with a paver block.
- An FIR under the Bharatiya Nyay Sanhita for rioting and attempt to murder has been registered against six accused, and the main suspect has been arrested.
- Police removed hawkers from the location, promised strict action, and said a joint plan with the BMC will follow a meeting with L Ward officials.
- A widely shared video of the assault was first posted by the Chandivali Citizens Welfare Association on X, and earlier posts described the victims as activists opposing illegal hawkers, a characterization not reflected in the police account.
