PUNE: A resident of a housing society in the Fakhri Hills area was physically assaulted by a security guard and two others after questioning the guard about a missing two-wheeler ignition key. The incident occurred on Wednesday and led to the registration of a police case at Kondhwa Police Station.
The complainant, H M Shaikh (35), a resident of Fair N Hills Society in the Fakhri Hills locality, stated in the First Information Report (FIR) that he had forgotten to take his ignition key after parking his two-wheeler. Suspecting that the key might have been discarded, he approached the security guard and asked if he had thrown it away.
According to the FIR, the guard allegedly took offence to the question, became aggressive, and physically assaulted Shaikh. The altercation reportedly escalated when the society’s supervisor and two others joined in. Shaikh sustained minor injuries and was treated at a nearby hospital, where he obtained a medical certificate before filing the complaint.
