He alleged that around 10 days before the incident, he objected to Irfan alias Bhuro, a resident of Qutub Nagar in Vatva, allegedly lending money to his friends.
Following the objection, Irfan allegedly began abusing and threatening him over the phone, accusing him of interfering in his business.
Threats outside residence
The complaint states that at around 4 pm on July 1, Irfan alias Bhuro and his associate, Farhan Javedbhai Pathan, allegedly arrived outside Yasin's residence.
Police said Irfan allegedly abused the complainant and threatened to kill him if he continued interfering in his affairs before both men left the spot.
Alleged assault at chicken shop
Later the same day, at around 6 pm, Yasin, accompanied by several friends, went to MM Chicken Shop in Vatva to speak with Farhan.
According to the complaint:
- An argument broke out between the parties.
- Farhan allegedly entered the shop and picked up a wooden paddle.

Victim hospitalised
