Attack escalation
Tiwari's self-defense and subsequent hospitalization
Retaliating, Tiwari hit the biker's hand with a piece of wood, making him drop his liquor bottle.
However, this only infuriated the attacker further, who then hit Tiwari twice on the head with an iron rod.
After the assault, the perpetrator fled from the scene, leaving Tiwari injured on the ground.
The actor was later rushed to a nearby hospital by his friends for immediate medical attention.
Police complaint

He claimed that he went to the police station to file a report against the individual, but the officers did not listen.
"The police collected CCTV footage, but even then they did not make any arrest," he said.
The actor named his attacker as Mohammad Zaid, who is reportedly the son of director Parvez Shaikh.
He said that Zaid seemed like a "professional knife attacker."
