Krishnakant, who had a close shave in the attack, identified the attacker as Santosh Soni, who owns a jewellery shop in nearby diesel colony.
He said the incident took place while Nagendra was talking to Santosh’s brother on the street. “I think he misunderstood the discussion and thought that Nagendra was threatening his brother.”
