Pune: Frustrated by the persistent nuisance caused by Bullet riders creating deafening noises and performing stunts near schools, the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) took matters into its own hands in Pimpri-Chinchwad's Nigdi area.
Instead of waiting for police intervention, MNS Pimpri-Chinchwad City President Sachin Chikhale and his team directly confronted a reckless Bullet rider and physically punished him in their signature style. A video of the incident has since gone viral on social media.
For a long time, residents near Mata Amritanand School, Shivbhumi School, Modern School, and SPM School had been complaining about reckless Bullet riders disturbing the peace.
Reports indicated that these riders not only modified their silencers to produce loud, firecracker-like sounds but also engaged in dangerous stunts, harassed female students, and caused inconvenience to elderly citizens.
Acting on fresh complaints, Chikhale, along with BJP corporator Uttam Kendale and BJP social worker Bapu Gholap, immediately responded. The team located the reckless riders, chased them down, and reprimanded them physically. The incident was filmed and widely shared online, drawing mixed reactions from the public.
MNS has now vowed to intensify its crackdown on such behavior in the coming days. Chikhale warned that if similar incidents occur again, there will be direct repercussions. Additionally, he urged citizens to report troublemakers and pledged continuous action to restore order in the area.
Following the incident, a report was filed at Nigdi Police Station, and authorities have assured stricter police patrols in the region to curb such activities.
