In another violent incident, a 20-year-old man in Dombivli was booked for stabbing a 17-year-old boy after a Holi water balloon landed on him by mistake. The accused, identified as Prayan Jadhav, resides in Yashwant Complex in the Sagaon area. The altercation occurred on March 13 at around 8:30 pm when Harsh Kamble was playing Holi with his friends in the building complex.
