Brother of the deceased Ajit informed the Police, Jaswant and I were performing Aarti at the Meladi Mata Temple. We played the Aarti over the loudspeaker. Sadaji came and asked us why we are playing the Aarti so loudly ? When told him that we are performing the Aarti, he got angry and started abusing us. He called his friends who came with lathis. They started beating us up.
