In a significant development, the Mumbai police announced they will register a First Information Report (FIR) concerning an assault that took place on October 5, 2025, outside the Royal Bar in Century Mill Colony, Worli, Mumbai. The clash erupted over a broken scooter mirror and escalated into a violent confrontation involving beer bottles and blunt objects, resulting in injuries to three men. Despite the severity of the incident, the police initially failed to register the Patekar brothers' complaints, leading them to approach the Bombay High Court. The court, upon reviewing evidence including photographs showing the injuries sustained, criticized the police for their inaction and ordered the registration of an FIR. The Patekar brothers had spent about five months in jail before being released on bail, alleging police bias in favor of their assailants.
