Pune: Budhwar Peth, Pune’s red-light district, was once again in the spotlight after a dramatic incident on Friday night. A 39-year-old man was allegedly beaten up by three women following a quarrel over an online payment.
The incident took place around 10 pm on September 12. According to police, the man had gone to one of the establishments in Budhwar Peth, where he agreed to make the payment through a digital app. However, when he tried to complete the transaction, he realized he had forgotten the password of his payment application. As a result, the money could not be transferred as reported by Sakal media.
The lapse sparked a heated argument. One of the women allegedly abused him and shouted, “If you don’t have money, why did you come here?” The situation quickly escalated, with two more women joining in. Together, the three allegedly shoved, pushed, and beat the complainant.
The man, left shaken and injured, immediately approached the Faraskhana police station and lodged a complaint. Based on his statement, a case has been registered against the women under charges of assault and verbal abuse. Police said an investigation is underway.
The incident has caused quite a stir in the Budhwar Peth area, which is no stranger to controversies. This time, the episode of a forgotten UPI password turning into a street brawl has become the talk of the town.
