During a party, a businessman aimed a pistol at a doctor's forehead, expressing disapproval of a Marathi song being played. Following the confrontation, the doctor was subjected to physical assault. The authorities arrested Max Habib Abdul Shakur (57, N1, Cidco) and Jagjit Singh Surinder Singh Oberoi (52, Jyotinagar) on charges of violating the Arms Act and attempted murder.
On June 25, at 10:30 pm, Dr. Deepak Phatak (34, Dhanora, Gevrai) and four of his friends visited a lounge at Akashwani for dinner. Unexpectedly, Dr. Phatak requested the restaurant owner to play a Marathi song. However, Max and Jagjit Singh strongly objected and demanded that the song be stopped, leading to a heated argument. Max pointed a pistol at Dr. Eknath Pawar, a friend of Phatak, and struck him on the head with the pistol's butt. The group faced verbal abuse and received death threats. Dr. Phatak promptly filed a complaint at the Jinsi police station, and Police Inspector Ashok Bhandare took immediate action by registering a case and securing the CCTV footage.
