According to sources, the incident took place at the Amarnath Apartment in Mhatre Wadi, Dahisar West. On Sunday morning, the society held a meeting with many members in attendance.

Desai alleges that Chairman Padiyal intentionally cut his thumb, stating, "On Sunday at 11 am, our society meeting at Amarnath Apartment was held. A few issues were to be discussed. I attended the meeting and presented an application to Chairman Padiyal. He began speaking to me harshly, and I responded sternly. He then pushed me, causing me to fall on the floor. He sat on my chest and broke my spectacles. In the struggle to defend myself, my thumb went into his mouth, and he bit it off completely. It is extremely painful."
The specifics of what transpired during the meeting remain unclear. The cause of the dispute between Aditya Desai and Nityanand Padiyal, and whether Padiyal indeed bit off Desai's thumb, are still under investigation. The MHB police are looking into the incident.
