Ghosh further alleged that the man verbally assaulted his wife, and when he stepped out to intervene, the attacker struck him on the head with a key, causing him to bleed. As Ghosh stood calling for help, more bystanders gathered, not to assist but to further intimidate the couple. The attacker then reportedly picked up a stone and vandalised their vehicle.
