Reportedly, Chetan was on his way home, after closing his shop at night, when a gang chased him and escaped after launching an attack with sharp weapons. The scene of assault points to the possibility that the assaulters wanted to kill him, not just threaten or injure him. He was shifted to a private hospital in a serious condition.
Immediately after the assault, a huge crowd gathered at the spot and the situation turned tense. Pandeshwar policemen, who rushed to the spot, took charge of the situation and controlled the mob.
Later, post mortem of the body was conducted at the district Wenlock Hospital.
