Swindon Crown Court A DRUNKEN dad struck his daughter’s beau with a shovel – leaving him with a cut that required nine stiches. Manjit Multani, 41, denied dealing the blow with the spade deliberately, claiming that he’d got the shovel out to damage his victim’s car and the injuries were caused when the pair had fought over the tool. Prosecutor Charles Digby said Multani was described by witnesses as ‘storming’ through the home of his estranged wife in Trowbridge on October 18, 2018. Multani told the man, who was said to be interested in his daughter, he didn’t want him there. “He told him to get the f out of his house,” Mr Digby said.
