The same-sex angle cropped up after the victim regained his senses.A resident of Ghodbunder area, the 29-year-old victim is a dealer of plastic goods. Sources said he met the youngsters, both 19 and Thane residents, on a social media platform and became friends with them.The man’s elder brother, who lives next door, told the police that the victim would often come late at night after work. “While having my dinner on Sunday night, I heard screams from my brother’s flat. I broke open the door and found my brother lying in a pool of blood. He had wounds on his stomach and chest with limbs tied up.”The complainant said there were two men inside and all three, including his brother, were in their undergarments. The attackers managed to flee the spot, he said.The businessman was taken to a nearby private hospital where he received immediate medical attention. “We inspected the crime scene and it appeared there was an attempt to break the safe open. Some gold items were missing,” said an official from the Chitalsar police station.But the narrative changed after the victim regained consciousness. “He had made a plan of meeting up at his house. These men wanted to have an experimental intercourse session,” said a source privy to the investigation.One of the investigators said the youngsters wanted a thick gold chain that victim always wore around his neck. “They thrashed him, tied up and attacked him with a sharp weapon. We have reasons to believe that he was sodomised.” The victim was taken to a government hospital on Monday. “He underwent tests to ascertain sexual assault. If the reports are positive, we will add section 377 [unnatural sex] of the Indian Penal Code to the FIR,” said Senior Inspector Ganpat Pingle.
