Overview
- On December 6, three men on a two-wheeler allegedly chased a couple’s car on the Katraj–Dehu Road bypass after the car reportedly ran over one rider’s foot during an overtake.
- The attackers allegedly hurled a stone that shattered the windscreen, caught up at a traffic jam near the Punawale underpass, and smashed the remaining windows.
- A shard of glass lodged in passenger Puja Gupta’s left eye, leading to an emergency corneoscleral repair at a private hospital in Chinchwad.
- More than a week after surgery, Gupta says her vision has not returned as doctors caution a second procedure may be required and full recovery remains uncertain due to blood in the eye.
- Police registered an FIR under BNS sections 126(2), 125, 125(a), 324(4) and 352, detained the three suspects, and released them after serving notices.
