Pune: In a shocking incident in Kothrud, Pune, a man’s refusal to join a liquor party—due to his wife’s disapproval—led his enraged friends to set multiple motorcycles on fire. The incident occurred in Raut Wadi, Hanuman Nagar, and police have arrested two accused in connection with the crime.
Incident Details
According to police reports, Shibukumar Thakur and the accused were acquaintances, all working as laborers from other states. On the day of Dhulivandan (Holika Dahan), the accused invited Shibukumar to drink alcohol. However, he refused, stating that his wife did not allow him to drink. The accused tried to convince him, but when Shibukumar resisted and locked himself inside his house, they became furious.
