Pune Youth Vandalize 20 Vehicles in Early Morning Rampage
12 Sep
Summary
- Three young individuals damaged 20 vehicles, including two public buses.
- The incident occurred early Saturday morning in Sahakarnagar and Parvati areas.
- Police apprehended one suspect after reviewing CCTV footage.
In the early hours of Saturday, September 12th, 2026, three young individuals embarked on a destructive path, damaging 18 cars and two PMPML buses across Pune's Sahakarnagar and Parvati vicinities. The suspects, all hailing from Dhankawdi, were apprehended by the city crime branch shortly after the incident.
Investigators reviewed local CCTV footage, which led to the swift arrest of 20-year-old Soham Harish Chavan. The motive for the widespread vandalism, which involved using stones to smash vehicle windshields, appears to be baseless. Chavan, who is unemployed, and his two minor accomplices reportedly had no specific reason for targeting vehicles parked on public roads.
A case has been registered against the individuals at the Sahakarnagar police station for mischief and vandalism.
