𒊎"After this, the four sat together and engaged in normal conversations, however, Mangesh allegedly tried to touch Uma, said a police officer, citing the allegations made in the FIR lodged on Rajkumar's complaint.
𓂃While Uma booked a cab for her and Rajkumar to leave the restaurant at around 5 am, Mangesh and his girlfriend came there and picked up a fight.
