Mumbai, August 11, 2026: A day after three men allegedly assaulted renowned fitness trainer and strategist Arjunjit Garewal, 39, in a road-rage incident in Bandra, the Bandra police detained the trio and later released them after serving notices.
The accused have been identified as Anas K, 25, who works at a private firm; Bilal Shaikh, 30; and Rajen. The police registered an FIR against them on Sunday under various sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) for allegedly assaulting Garewal and criminally intimidating him.
Trainer Describes Chase And Attack
Garewal told FPJ, "No one came forward to help us. I asked my wife to dial 100. The accused deliberately came in front of my car and drove slowly. I honked two or three times and waited for them to give way. When I overtook their car, they chased me and rammed their vehicle into mine near a petrol pump. I tried to drive away, but they rammed my car again."
Garewal and his wife, Bhakti, an HR director at a university, had gone to dinner at his parents' house in Juhu and were returning to their residence in Mahim when the incident occurred.
