Harwinder stopped his scooter near an isolated area where Parminder and his aides were sitting in a car. Harwinder forced me to sit in the car. I noticed that Parminder got a call from Chatarvir, who directed them to thrash me. After that call, the accused started thrashing me, after which they escaped.
