The complaints lodged against Shingvi by numerous customers and the concerns raised about his behaviour were acknowledged by the police authorities. Despite multiple efforts made to address these concerns, no improvement was observed. Consequently, Dhoble had no choice but to exclude him from the office WhatsApp group.

The employee, driven by the omission, confronted his boss and demanded an explanation for being excluded from the group. Shingvi entered the office with a bamboo stick and physically attacked his boss while also causing damage to his iPhone. Police are further investigating the case.
