Parvati, 30th January 2024: The Parvati Darshan area in Pune experienced a wave of gang violence and vehicle vandalism, leaving residents in fear. A minor was reportedly stabbed during the chaos, leading to conflicting complaints filed at the Parvati Police Station.

According to her account, a group of seven individuals, including Devendra, Ajay Chavan, Sonya Gege, and Shubham Adagale, along with a minor child, created havoc near the Shivraj Mitra Mandal around 12:30 midnight.
