"I don't know how it all happened. It was broad daylight and we were driving down to Matheran. At this place between Panvel and Matheran, a few men on bikes started following us. One guy overtook my car and I had to stop. Immediately, the man came to attack me. I slapped him when another one took out a sharp knife. My kids started crying and I got scared. I took hold of the knife and asked my wife to open the boot of the car and take out the spanner," recalled Abhimanyu.

"We drove further and came upon a police station. So we decided to complain. When I told the cops, they took it too casually. They said that these things keep happening and dismissed the entire incident," added Abhimanyu angrily.
