The incident occurred at Kalina village in Santacruz east on Thursday afternoon, an official said. Assistant engineer Sachin Bandgar reached the site with his team to inspect ongoing road construction, when a woman running a pre-school in the locality asked them to stop the work. She claimed there were leakage issues on her premises due to the work, he said. The woman allegedly threatened the civic team and called her husband, who asked them to produce the work order. Despite showing the document, the accused continued to argue. Next, four to five unidentified persons arrived and started allegedly assaulting Bandgar and his team. One of the accused was detained but managed to flee from the police station.
