Pune: Corporator’s Husband Among Eight Booked For Alleged Assault On Security Guard In Kharadi Land Dispute
Pune, June 13, 2026: Kharadi Police have registered a case against eight persons, including the husband of a Pune Municipal Corporation corporator, for allegedly assaulting a security guard during a dispute over a plot of land in Kharadi.
The accused have been identified as Pritam Khandve (41), Pankaj Sanjay Patole (34), a JCB operator, and several others. Pritam Khandve is the husband of corporator Shreyas Khandve from Ward No. 3.
The complaint was filed by Altaf Amjad Shaikh (26), a resident of Aaple Ghar Society in Kharadi. According to police, Shaikh has been overseeing a plot owned by Parvati Patil in Kharadi for the past five to six years.
Investigators said the land has been the subject of an ongoing dispute. A case related to the same property was previously registered at Airport Police Station in December 2022, following which the Tehsildar had reportedly issued an order restraining Pritam Khandve from entering the disputed land.
According to the complaint, on the night of May 30, Khandve and several associates allegedly arrived at the plot with a JCB machine and attempted to carry out work on the land. When Shaikh questioned their presence and activities, the accused allegedly abused and assaulted him.
After learning about the incident, landowner Parvati Patil informed the police, who rushed to the spot. Following medical treatment for his injuries, Shaikh lodged a formal complaint at Kharadi Police Station.
Based on the complaint, police have registered a case against Khandve and seven others. Authorities are investigating the circumstances surrounding the land dispute, allegations of assault, and whether the Tehsildar’s order was violated. Further investigation is underway.
