AHMEDABAD: Asking the neighbour to keep the sand properly and not leave it on the manhole ended up into a major dispute which led to cross-complaints with Vejalpur police.
Cross-complaints have been registered by the police under IPC 323 (punishment for voluntarily causing hurt) 294 (B) (uttering of obscene words in or near any public place), 506(1) (criminal intimidation).
In the first complaint, Ajij Shaikh has stated that Beholkhan Pathan and Vahab Pathan had a dispute with him over putting sand on the chamber of a manhole after which the two Pathans abused him and attacked him with a knife.
The complainant stated that as he held the knife to save himself from the assault, he got injured in the left hand.
In the counter-complaint, Beholkhan has stated that when he objected to dumping of sand on the manhole, Samir alias Manna Shaikh attacked him on his face and Ajij threatened him of dire consequences after which he and his wife went to the police to lodge the complaint.
