Bajrangi’s brother, Mahesh Panchal, a vegetable vendor in Faridabad, was attacked by four to five men who first confirmed his identity as Bajrangi’s brother and then doused him with petrol, setting him on fire.

The incident happened around 1am last night and Panchal is currently undergoing treatment in a private hospital.
An FIR has been registered, and Bittu Bajrangi has identified one of the accused as a fellow vegetable vendor in the same area as his brother. However, as of now, no arrests have been made
