However, due to the bravery of the customer who was standing by, the assailant was restrained almost immediately without being able to cause severe injuries to the shopkeeper.

It has been alleged that the shopkeeper was attacked because he had raised his voice against the local goons in Chembur, a suburb in eastern Mumbai.

The police have managed to track down and arrest four people while the other two are absconding. The shopkeeper is currently under observation with minor injuries on his left hand and neck.
