NAGPUR: A 40-year-old man allegedly entered an auto-rickshaw driver’s house armed with a knife and attacked him following an earlier dispute in the Kalaman Road T-point area of Kamptee on Monday evening.

According to police, the incident occurred around 5.15 pm on October 26, when the complainant, identified as Shah Rukh Ali, 30, was at home with his family.

The accused, identified as Sheikh Arif, a resident of Bunkar Colony behind Dhor Hospital in Kamptee, allegedly arrived at the complainant’s residence carrying a knife and began abusing him.
