Upon seeing his son and the police team at a godown, his father rushed towards them and pushed them down in an attempt to rescue his son. When the police resisted his attempt, he bit one of them on his finger and manhandled other staffers. He also used abusive language against them and tore their uniform, he added.
The police team later overpowered him and placed the man under arrest.
A case was then registered against him at Bhiwandi city police station under Indian Penal Code (IPC) sections 353 (assault or criminal force to deter public servant from discharge of his duty), 332 (voluntarily causing hurt to deter public servant from his duty), 504 (intentional insult) and 506 (criminal intimidation).
