Talking to mid-day, spokesperson for MEP, the firm that runs toll plazas in the city, Uttra Ayyer said, "Around 5.14 pm, an Innova car, headed towards Worli, tried to pass without paying toll. So, Chavan got out of the booth and stood in front of the car. The driver continued driving, stopping just inches from Chavan, after which he got out of the vehicle, thrashed him and then attacked with a sharp weapon."
