The accused were identified as Hitesh Gandhi (43), Prafful Patel (48) and Mohammad Firoz Malik (22). They were allegedly involved in a physical fight while still wearing their Blinkit-branded delivery bags. After their arrest, police released a video of the accused performing sit-ups while holding their ears.
Police Inspector M.R.
