In the CCTV footage, two attackers can be seen approaching Dhanve, who was sitting with three others. Dhanve was on his phone when the attackers came up behind him. As they pulled out their guns and started shooting, the others at the table got up and left. More people joined in attacking Dhanve instead of chasing after them. Six people entered the restaurant with sickles and machetes and attacked Dhanve until he died. Other diners hurried out of the restaurant, while the attackers ran away, leaving Dhanve’s lifeless body on the ground.
