In another violent incident, a 20-year-old man in Dombivli was booked for stabbing a 17-year-old boy after a Holi water balloon landed on him by mistake. The accused, identified as Prayan Jadhav, resides in Yashwant Complex in the Sagaon area. The altercation occurred on March 13 at around 8:30 pm when Harsh Kamble was playing Holi with his friends in the building complex. Kamble threw a balloon filled with coloured water, which accidentally hit Jadhav, drenching him.

Kamble suffered serious injuries and was immediately taken to a nearby hospital by his friends and their parents.
Following the attack, Manpada police registered an FIR against Jadhav under sections 118(1), 115(2), 352, and 351(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. Investigations are ongoing as authorities work to locate and apprehend the accused.
