Pune: Loni Kalbhor police have registered a case against four people, who are accused of assaulting the owner of an eatery, his son and employees after an argument over a food bill on November 9 at Jagdamba Hotel in Kadamwak Vasti.

The four accused named in the FIR are Rahul Dattatray Kalbhor, Ramchandra alias Rambhau Dattatray Kalbhor, Swapnil Kalbhor and Vikas Kalbhor. According to the information given about the incident, a former sarpanch of the village was also allegedly among those involved.

The complaint was filed by Rajendra Chaudhari (56), who has been running the eatery near Angel High School for about 30 years. The FIR was registered at 3.18 am on November 10.

In his statement, Chaudhari said Ramchandra came to the eatery to eat at about 9 pm on November 9. He paid the bill online and then asked whether the money had arrived. Chaudhari told him it had. Ramchandra allegedly began abusing him regardless, and the two got into an argument.

Chaudhari's son Mayur (22) stepped in to calm the matter. According to the complaint, Ramchandra allegedly abused him too, pushed him and assaulted him. Mayur then took him out of the eatery.

Some time later, Ramchandra's brother Rahul allegedly arrived at the eatery, abused Chaudhari and threatened to kill him. Mayur then went to Loni Kalbhor police station to complain.

About 10 to 15 minutes later, all four accused allegedly barged into the eatery and attacked Chaudhari and the staff. Swapnil allegedly threw a glass vessel at Chaudhari's right leg, injuring him. The eatery's cook, Deepak Rajesh Kurkure, came to intervene and was also allegedly abused and beaten.

An employee phoned Mayur and told him what was happening. According to the complaint, Mayur was returning from the police station with his cousin Om Chaudhari when the four accused allegedly stopped them near a Domino's Pizza outlet close to the eatery and assaulted them.

CCTV footage of the assault has also surfaced.
