One Rajesh Reddy who was injured was referred to Sub District Hospital for treatment. Sources informed that he sustained minor injuries. Ponda police are further investigating the case. rLast month, a spat in a hotel at Merces took an ugly turn after four persons from the village attacked tourists with sharp weapons.
