Ten Cars Vandalised in Thane’s Kalwa as Residents Demand Arrests

Chronic parking shortages combined with frequent gatherings of suspected drug users have left roadside vehicles exposed, prompting calls for more night patrols and faster police action.

Overview

  • Early Friday morning residents in Ganpati Pada, Kalwa, found about ten cars with windows and windshields smashed and reported the damage to Kalwa police.
  • The damaged vehicles included several expensive models and neighbours say the pattern follows two similar incidents in recent days.
  • Police registered a non-cognisable report and say investigators are using local intelligence and available CCTV to identify and apprehend the perpetrators.
  • Hundreds of residents protested at Kalwa police station and formally demanded immediate arrests, stricter punishment, and increased night patrolling in the locality.
  • Local people and reporters point to a severe shortage of designated parking that forces cars onto public roads and increases vulnerability to vandalism and anti-social groups.
