According to police sources, Ravi was driving past the hospital when an argument broke out between him and Akshaykumar Dhanraj Gedam (30), a resident of the New Khalasi Line area. The dispute reportedly began over a trivial issue of giving way while driving during Holi celebrations.
Within moments, the verbal exchange escalated into a heated confrontation, with both men allegedly abusing and pushing each other. During the scuffle, Ravi reportedly fell to the ground and sustained serious injuries, leaving bystanders stunned.
