The shocking incident took place in Mumbai's Andheri area when two youths, Reuben Fernandez (28) and Keenan Santos (25) were stabbed by a group of four people as they protested when the attackers were passing lewd comments to women who were in the group.
On that night, Reuben, Keenan and five others who included three girls had visited a bar for dinner and watch cricket match on the giant screent that was arranged at the venue. As they stepped out of the venue and stood in front of a pan shop the horrific incident took place.
When the attackers started to pass lewd comments targeting the girls in the group, the violence followed.
