Reported by Varad Bhatkhande
Pimpri Chinchwad, 22nd November 2024: An externed criminal, along with two accomplices, brandished Koytas and created panic in the Pimpri-Chinchwad area. The trio was seen roaming the streets of Mohan Nagar in Chinchwad, reportedly searching for a man. Reports indicate that the man they were seeking had campaigned for an opposition candidate in the Pimpri Constituency ahead of the Maharashtra Legislative Assembly Elections, contrary to the trio’s political affiliations.

The Pimpri Police Station has launched an investigation and is currently searching for the three individuals. However, the police have clarified that the motives behind the incident are personal, not political. A video of the incident has gone viral, with claims that the trio was targeting the man for supporting the opposing side in the elections. The video’s release, just one day after polling and with results expected tomorrow, has sparked significant debate.

The three accused are absconding, and the man they were searching for is also missing. Police have stated that a case will be registered once the accused are apprehended. This public act has created a sense of fear among residents. While the administration strives for fair, peaceful, and fear-free elections, such incidents have raised concerns among locals.

Senior Police Inspector Ashok Kadlag, in charge of the Pimpri Police Station, told Punekar News: “We have identified the accused and the man they were searching for. The trio is on the run, and we are also looking for the complainant to ensure his safety. This is a personal matter, not a political one, as revealed by the investigation.”
