Nagpur man, 51, attacked with cement block after objecting to lit firecracker being thrown at him

A 51-year-old man in Nagpur was attacked after he asked some youths not to throw a lit sutli bomb at him. Three angry youths hit him with a cement block and injured him. He was sitting with a friend at the time.

The incident took place on Pipla Road, under the Hudkeshwar police station limits. Kishor Khanorkar, a resident of Dighori, was sitting in front of a tyre shop in the Besa area on the afternoon of November 4, smoking a cigarette. His friend was sitting there with him.

Three youths who arrived there lit a sutli bomb and threw the burning bomb towards Khanorkar. Khanorkar told them plainly not to throw a bomb like that.

On hearing this, all three youths flew into a rage. They began an argument, telling Khanorkar and his friend not to sit there. The argument soon turned violent, and the accused attacked Khanorkar with a cement block and injured him.

After the incident, Khanorkar went to the Hudkeshwar police station and lodged a complaint. On that basis, police have registered a case of assault against all three accused and begun further investigation.

Police are now searching for the accused.
