Mumbai, June 9, 2025:-
Chaos erupted in the quiet lanes of Matunga on Saturday night, when a group of masked men armed with swords, knives, and wooden sticks launched a terrifying assault on four people—an act so brutal it seemed straight out of a gangland film. Except this wasn’t fiction. It happened for real, right in the heart of the city.
The entire attack was captured on CCTV, and the visuals are nothing short of chilling. Weapons were flung openly. The attackers, faces hidden behind helmets and scarves, came in swinging—intent on destruction. One of them even hurled a sword straight toward the surveillance camera, as if to erase evidence. But the footage survived, and it’s now central to the police investigation.
According to officials, the violence wasn’t random. Initial leads point toward a festering family feud, one that escalated into open street warfare. Police have registered a case against eight men. So far, seven have been detained and are being interrogated, while the hunt continues for the last accused.
Residents were left shocked—not just by the audacity of the attack, but by how quickly it unfolded and disappeared into the night. The victims, though seriously injured, are now out of danger and cooperating with the investigation.
Meanwhile, law enforcement has stepped up presence in the area, scanning more CCTV footage and questioning witnesses to piece together the full picture.
This incident has reignited debates over rising local violence and how quickly personal disputes are turning into public bloodbaths. For now, Matunga is trying to return to normalcy—but the scars of Saturday night won’t fade anytime soon.
