The sprawl had started when sting BJP MLA’s sons Abhijit and Rohit Khopde were partying at cloud 7 bar with their friends. After the party session was over, the duo asked for the discount which the bar owner Sunny had refused. This led to a wordy spat between Sunny (Bambrotwar’s son) and Abhijit. The fight, then, turned so heated that both the enraged Khopde brothers had hit Sunny with wine bottle, injuring him badly. The duo and their friends had escaped the bar soon after.
Agitated by the same, Bambrotwar had filed a police complaint at Ambazari police station. However, he called up his friends immediately after it and chased the group to another encounter at the Laxmi Bhawan Square near the bar. During a heinous fight with rods, hockey sticks and sharp edged weapons, Shubham Mahalkar, a friend of Khopde brothers was severely injured and died on the spot.
Pramod Bambrotwar was the prime accused in this murder who has now been released on bail.
