He went to the Shastri Nagar hospital and was later discharged and is recovering now. “We have booked the 3 accused including Kevane and the arrest process in going on,” told Manpada police officials. The FIR invokes multiple sections of the IPC against the accused.

It says, "PCMA does not condone such behaviour. We have terminated the employment of the security personnel involved in the altercation incident that took place over the weekend with immediate effect."The FIR also mentions that security guard Kevane had asked Joshi to register in a book before entering the building. However, Joshi informed the guard that he had a food order and that the person in Room No. 1901 was an acquaintance. The guard then asked Mr. Joshi's worker to register instead. After delivering the food order and returning to the building gate, the scuffle took place. The victim’s wife Soni while speaking to LokmatTimes.com said, “No one is safe in Palava. The goons attempted to murder my husband. They were abusing him unnecessary. If I wouldn’t have reached on time, they would have killed him. There is no law and order here in Palava. The accussed should be strictly punished.”
