Anurag's wife Seema reached the spot with a female friend and they were also attacked by Vinod and his daughter. Anurag was rushed to a nearby hospital and later shifted to Sion Hospital.
"Vinod throws garbage and acid on our clothes and plants kept in the balcony. When we complain about it, he argues with us. Two years ago, our family had a quarrel with him and he had lodged a police complaint making false allegations against us," said Seema.
"My husband has suffered a deep head injury and has been admitted to Sion Hospital for treatment. Police must take strict action against the accused" she added.
Vijay Chogle, senior inspector at Waliv police station, said, "We have registered the FIR under Sections 323 (voluntarily causing hurt), 324 (hurting with dangerous weapons), 504 (intentional insult to provoke), 506 (criminal intimidation) and 34 (criminal act for common intention) of the IPC and have arrested Vinod."
