In Maharashtra's busy areas of Pimpri-Chinchwad and Hinjawadi, there's a big problem with illegal weapons and gang violence. On March 18, 2025, three serious events happened. The worst one took place in Hinjawadi, where five attackers used a traditional weapon called a koyta to hurt a man named Ajay Pandhare badly. This attack came from old fights that started during last year's Ganeshotsav festival.
In another event, police caught a young man named Kunal Sakale, who's 24 years old, in a place called Ravet. They found illegal guns and bullets with him, worth about Rs 50,500. This shows that a lot of illegal weapons are being used by criminals in the area.
The police also stopped three people, including two teenagers, on motorcycles in Dehu Road. The main suspect, a 19-year-old named Nagesh Balwadki, had a gun, a live bullet, and a sharp knife. This shows that even young people are getting involved with weapons, which is very worrying.
Because of these events happening one after the other, police are working harder to stop illegal weapons in Pimpri-Chinchwad. They're doing more operations and arrests to fight against the problem of weapons in the area.
Community leaders and local people are very worried about the rise in violence, especially with young people getting involved in gangs. The presence of illegal guns is a big danger to everyone's safety.
Local officials promise to improve safety measures and ask the community to help by reporting anything suspicious. These incidents remind us how important it's for police to keep order and how much work is needed to solve the problems of gang violence and illegal weapons in the region.
