Batra said while it took time, justice has been served to the Sapras after "traversing many a legal hurdle to get to this point."

In the January 2005 incident, Shakoor and Asif misbehaved with Arti Sapra and when her brother intervened he was attacked by them. Outside the club, Anuj and Arti were chased down by Shakoor and Asif who attacked Anuj with the metal baseball bat, striking him repeatedly in the head and face. Arti, seeking to help her brother, was also attacked with the metal bat on her arm.

Anuj sustained serious injuries, including traumatic brain injury, skull fractures, facial fractures, internal bleeding, hearing loss and a fractured hand.

Shakoor and Asif were subsequently indicted by a New York County Grand Jury and while Asif was convicted of attempt to murder Anuj, Shakoor has reportedly fled the country, Batra said.
