Pune, 29th June 2023: A young woman was attacked in broad daylight in Sadashiv Peth. Fortunately, two brave young men apprehended the attacker and swiftly brought her to the nearby Perugate Police Chowky under Vishrambag police station, Pune City Police. However, to their dismay, they discovered that there were no police officers present at the station.
As a result, three individuals, including the police constable from the Perugate police chowky, have been suspended due to allegations of dereliction of duty. Deputy Commissioner of Police (Zone 1) Sandeep Singh Gill, confirmed the suspensions and cited the negligence exhibited by these three police personnel.
The suspended employees have been identified as Head Constable Sunil Shantaram Tathe, Constables Prashant Prakash Jagdale, and Sagar Namdev Rane.

This incident has raised concerns regarding the performance of the police force. Consequently, three policemen have been suspended for their negligence in this matter.
