A DJ operator was assaulted in Nashik after accidentally disturbing two people sleeping in a rickshaw. The incident occurred on Tuesday night in Kamalnagar, Hirawadi, when the DJ operator, Kiran Bandu Pagare, went to take his employer’s rickshaw after finishing his work.

Two people were sleeping inside the rickshaw, and Pagare woke them up by calling out to them.
