A disturbing video from Pune has surfaced, capturing a violent clash that has created chaos and concern among the citizens of the city. The incident occurred at night on a busy road in the Bibvewadi area, where traffic was suddenly congested. A fight broke out between two groups at the roadside, during which a "koyta" (sickle) was drawn, and one person started stabbing the rival gang member. The entire act was caught on camera, and the video is now going viral on social media, raising serious concerns about law and order in the city.
In recent years, Pune has witnessed a rise in violent attacks involving koytas. Despite repeated calls for stricter action against such crimes, incidents like this continue to rise. In Bibvewadi, a dispute between two groups escalated into a violent altercation involving sickles.
The video shows several four-wheelers parked along the road. During the argument, one man is seen taking a koyta from another and stabbing a member of the rival group. The victim tries to dodge the attack, loses balance, and falls. However, the attacker continues his attempt to stab him. Another person then grabs the koyta and stabs the original attacker. A third man throws a large stone, escalating the situation further as both groups hurl stones at each other before fleeing.
