Speaking to The Free Press Journal, Shankar Salunkhe, in-charge of Bibwewadi Police Station, said, “The vandalisation occurred around 2.40am near VIT College in Bibwewadi. The accused claimed to have damaged the vehicles without any reason. They did it just for enjoyment. They have been arrested. We have received complaints from 25 vehicle owners so far.”
“They are habitual criminals. The trio came on a two-wheeler, carrying sharp weapons. They hit the vehicles one by one and broke the windscreens of multiple vehicles parked on the roadside in Upper Indira Nagar, Durgamata Garden, Suvarna Mitra Mandal and Rajiv Gandhi Nagar for over 30 to 40 minutes,” he added.
Regarding the matter, a case has been registered under section 307 of Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and the relevant section of the Arms Act.
Meanwhile, after the three accused were caught, the police paraded them publicly with their face covered with a black cloth. They were made to kneel on the road and walk on their knees for a while. A video of this has gone viral on social media.
