On Sunday night, unidentified miscreants wreaked havoc by burning and vandalizing vehicles in the parking lot of a building in the Vihitgaon area. Additionally, they used sickles and stones to damage four-wheelers parked on the road, resulting in around 15 vehicles being affected. Swift action by the police led to the immediate arrest of both culprits. However, shockingly, less than 24 hours later, a similar incident occurred in the Muktidham area of Nashik Road.
Around 12 am, a group of nine men on two-wheelers arrived at Datta Temple road, armed with sickles and swords. They proceeded to break the windows of four to five vehicles in the premises of Rajalakshmi Auditorium and Jagtap Mala area before making a swift escape. The suspects had covered their faces with handkerchiefs. Upon receiving the report of the incident, local youths and the police quickly responded to the scene. The gang fled on their two-wheelers.
