A 29-year-old man was assaulted, robbed, and threatened by two brothers in the Daund area of Pune, Maharashtra, police confirmed on Sunday, 27 September 2026. The victim, identified as Dinesh Bharat Dhanve, was attacked near Nehru Chowk by the accused, who demanded money and inflicted injuries using an iron rod.
How the Attack Unfolded
According to police, Dhanve was standing near the railway ground and speaking on his phone when the accused, Adarsh Anil Jadhav, approached him and asked, 'Why have you come to our area?' demanding money. When the complainant refused to comply, the accused damaged his mobile phone and slapped him, causing him to fall.
Adarsh Jadhav then allegedly struck Dhanve with an iron rod, injuring his back, thigh, and head. A sum of ₹3,500 was forcibly taken from the victim's trouser pocket during the assault.
Second Brother Joins the Scene
When Dhanve called his relatives for help, Adarsh Jadhav summoned his brother, Aman Anil Jadhav, to the spot. Together, the two brothers verbally abused the victim and allegedly threatened to kill him.
Case Registered, Investigation Underway
A case has been registered against both Adarsh Anil Jadhav and Aman Anil Jadhav at Daund Police Station under Sections 119(1), 118(1), 115(2), 324(4), 351(2), 352, and 3(5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. Investigators confirmed that further probe into the matter is ongoing.
Daund's Recurring Law and Order Concerns
This incident adds to a recent pattern of criminal activity flagged in the Daund area. In May, a separate case of medical fraud was reported from the same locality, where a fake doctor illegally practising medicine was apprehended. Police seized allopathic medicines, injections, syringes, suspicious unlabelled liquids, and cash amounting to ₹6.54 lakh from the accused, identified as Omprakash Bansilal Swarnkar, who had allegedly been running an illegal clinic in the Akhadevasti area of Kasurdi village in Yavat without a valid medical degree, registration with the Maharashtra Medical Council, or a licence to sell medicines.
The two incidents, while unrelated, underscore the need for heightened policing in the Daund region. The assault case is under active investigation.
Point of View
But the details carry a broader signal: a territorial confrontation ('Why have you come to our area?') escalating to an iron-rod assault and organised intimidation involving two family members points to localised criminal emboldening. Daund has seen a string of law-enforcement incidents recently, from fake medical clinics to street violence — raising questions about beat policing effectiveness in peri-urban Pune. The registration of the FIR under multiple BNS provisions is routine; what matters now is whether the accused are arrested swiftly, or whether the case languishes as a statistic.
