A minor jostle during a Durga immersion rally in Nagpur has ended in a knife attack, it is alleged. Two young men are accused of breaking into the house of the person they had quarrelled with, in the dark of night, and attacking him with a knife to settle the score.

Fish seller Yashwant Gaur had taken part in a Durga immersion rally held in the Bhawani Chowk area on October 23. During the rally, he had an argument over a push with Abhishek alias Amol Parasapagar and his associate Ravi Pande.

At 2.30 am, the two allegedly reached Gaur's house, forced their way in and attacked him with a knife. His elderly mother was also injured when she tried to save him.

Police examined footage from CCTV cameras near the spot and identified the suspects. With the help of the footage, they have caught one accused. Abhishek alias Amol Parasapagar has been arrested. His associate Ravi Pande is absconding.
