Pune: A gang claiming to be local "dons" stormed into the home of a female teacher in Khadki and vandalized her belongings, causing significant damage.

The incident, which took place on Monday (October 7) afternoon, has led to the registration of a criminal case against five individuals by the Khadki Police.

The complainant, a 42-year-old woman residing in Gopi Chawl, Khadki, reported the incident to the police, stating that the accused had forcibly entered her home around 4 PM while she was conducting tuition classes.

The group, led by Ashish Kangane (18), along with Gaurav Kangane (19), Chhota Lohar (20), Alok Rokde alias Sonu (19), and Maddy alias Yash Salve (20), all residents of Khadki, demanded to know the whereabouts of her son, with whom they had prior disputes.

Brandishing an iron rod, Ashish Kangane and his associates ransacked the house, damaging several household items. The group also hurled vulgar insults and issued threats, claiming to be the local "dons," attempting to create a sense of fear and intimidation.
