Nagpur: A group of miscreants attacked a truck driver and four others with rods and stones as a dispute erupted during Ganesh immersion in Jaripatka area here on Tuesday. Four accused have reportedly been arrested in this connection.
The trouble started when the complainant, Gurbhel Singh Punarsingh Datle (42), resident of Samata Nagar, Jaripatka, was taking idol of Bappa in his Eicher truck (MH-40/DL 5319). Midway, Gurbhel Singh saw a big pothole on the road and hence stopped his truck.
