Couple Gets Thrashed For Questioning Man Who Was Giving Out The Conjuring: Last Rites Spoilers

It so happened that a theatre in Pune’s Chinchwad area witnessed a brawl when a man was loudly narrating the film to his wife and giving out spoilers.

Another couple who was in the theatre, a techie and his wife, asked the man not to spoil the film but this escalated into a physical fight.

The techie and wife were eventually left battered and bruised as per a complaint filed by them to the cops.

Sharing the details about the incident, sub-inspector SJ Mohite of the Chinchwad police told TOI, “In his complaint, the techie alleged that the accused (Vallabhnagar resident) was seated behind him and kept narrating the movie's story to his wife. This prompted the techie to politely ask him to stop spoiling the suspense for him and his wife and sister (who were accompanying him).”

The complaint further stated that things were fine till the interval. However, post that the accused started abusing the techie, “As the accused hurdled abuses at the techie, he turned around and was attacked out of blue. The accused beat up the techie and pushed him down by dragging him by his shirt's collar. The accused then kicked the techie on his face, stomach and hand. When the techie's wife tried to intervene, the accused and his wife started beating and abusing her too.”

Based on the techie’s complaint, a case has been filed against the Vallabhnagar residents i.e. the accused man and his wife for offences under sections 117 (voluntarily causing grievous hurt), 115 (causing hurt), and 352 (intentional insult to provoke breach of peace) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS).
