In Mumbai's Baiganwadi, a heated argument over an unpaid ₹1.5 lakh security deposit took a shocking turn when tenant Syed Ali allegedly ran his car over landlord Anil Chavan on July 21.
Ali had agreed to pay a ₹6 lakh deposit but was behind on the final installment, leading to the confrontation.

Ali was arrested by Deonar Police

Chavan suffered serious injuries and filed a police complaint two days later.
Ali was arrested by Deonar Police, and the investigation is still ongoing.
