On August 16, Bawa was present at his friend’s nail studio, when the accused reached there with an iron rod and iron knuckle punches.

He alleged they snatched his two mobile phones and attacked him. “When I tried to escape, they nabbed me and pushed me down on the floor. They repeatedly assaulted me with weapons. When I screamed for help, they picked the keys of my Toyota Fortuner car from the counter and escaped in it. My friends rushed me to the local civil hospital. Due to my deep injuries, they later admitted me at Sohana hospital, where I underwent treatment,” the victim said.
