Among the arrested, four of them are 18 years old and four of them are 19 years old, Deputy Commissioners of Police, Ishu Sandu (Zonal) and Ranjan Kumar Sharma (Crime) told reporters here.
The incident took place yesterday when 30-year-old Chandrashekhar Wadatkar was flying kite in Beedpeth in South city area and was joined by Sagar Gaikwad (30), who has a criminal past.
In between, Sagar bumped into another youth and had a heated exchange with him over kite-flying on the occasion of Makar Sakranti. The youth left the scene and soon returned with an armed gang and attacked Wadatkar and Gaikwad.
Gaikwad is still undergoing treatment. The accused were rounded up last night, police said.
