Port Blair, October 30: A police team of PS Aberdeen apprehended a man for attacking a caretaker of an apartment at Junglighat with a sharp object. The assault took place on October 27, 2023, in the Junglighat area. According to the authorities, the accused, identified as Mr. Ravindranath, was reportedly heavily intoxicated when he initiated a verbal altercation with the caretaker of the Apartment. The heated exchange escalated rapidly, culminating in the accused, Mr. Ravindranath, grabbing a sharp object from the parking area and assaulting the caretaker multiple times.
The police were promptly informed about the incident, and a team was dispatched to the location. Following a thorough investigation, Mr. Ravindranath was arrested. Notably, the accused is reported to be the brother-in-law of the owner of the Apartment.
Despite the arrest, the weapon used in the attack, which appears to resemble a knife in the CCTV footage, has yet to be recovered. Mr. Ravindranath was initially held in police custody on the night of October 30. However, he has since been remanded to judicial custody by the court.
