The acts of destruction involved the use of sharp weapons and iron rods, targeting both expensive cars and two-wheelers. The local police have registered a case in response to the incidents and have already apprehended a suspect.

The disturbance occurred between 2 am and 3 am, as the unidentified individuals wreaked havoc on the vehicles parked in the vicinity. The attackers forcibly entered the area armed with sickles and iron rods, damaging hundreds of cars and approximately 15 to 20 two-wheelers. The commotion prompted many residents to investigate the source of the noise, but they were met with threats from the perpetrators, who then fled the scene after completing their spree of destruction.
