According to police officials, the accused, Aditya Ranjane, operates a tea stall at Trimurti Chowk near Bharati Vidyapeeth. Around 6 a.m., an argument over payment for tea escalated into a violent confrontation. Dayaram Sutar, a resident of Dattanagar, intervened to defuse the situation, following which the parties involved dispersed.
However, in a fit of rage, Ranjane and his associates later barged into Sutar’s society, armed with koytas, and reached his residence. They inquired about his whereabouts but left upon learning that he was not at home.
The entire incident was captured on video, which has since gone viral on social media, clearly showing the gang wielding weapons.
Senior Police Inspector Sharad Zine of Ambegaon Police Station confirmed to the Free Press Journal that a case has been registered under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). “We have deployed a team to track down the accused, and they will be arrested soon,” he stated.
Despite Pune Police’s crackdown on koyta gangs, such violent incidents continue to occur, raising concerns over law and order in the city.
