The youths, who were blocking way as Mukherjee was driving back to his residence, picked up a fight as the senior official honked and urged them to give way. No sooner than Mukherjee entered home after the brief altercation, the miscreants barged into his residence, smashed window panes and dragged out the official beating him severely, the sources said quoting family and eyewitness account.
