Mumbai: Four guards working for the owner of Bombay Dyeing Mill allegedly thrashed legislator Ravindra Phatak’s driver after a fight broke out between them last week.
According to NM Joshi Marg police, Prashant Patil had brought Phatak’s son Priyansh, 22, to Opa Pub at Bombay Dyeing Mill on Friday night. He dropped Priyansh near the pub and parked the Mercedes Benz.
Priyansh later called Patil and asked him to pick him up. Patil was standing next to the car outside Opa Pub when two vehicles pulled up behind him.
