Pune techie, wife attacked by bikers in shocking incident on Lavale-Nande Road
Pune: A 42-year-old software engineer, Ravi Karnani, and his wife were attacked by a group of men on motorcycles while driving on the Lavale-Nande road near Nande village, Pune, in the early hours of September 29. The attackers reportedly used iron rods to damage their car in an attempt to force them to stop. The couple managed to escape the assault and reach their home in Sus, Maharashtra.
According to the complaint filed by Ravi Karnani with the Paud police, the assailants chased the couple’s vehicle at high speed, reaching 80 km/h, using two motorcycles and a car. Karnani alleged that the attackers were locals who often target vehicles, especially those with out-of-state license plates.
In a video shared by Karnani on social media platform X, he described how they were ambushed by nearly 40 individuals, spread across different pockets of the road, armed with rods, sticks, and stones. Despite their frantic attempts to flee, the group continued to pursue them until they reached the safety of their home.
Though the police have registered a non-cognizable offense, there has been little progress in the investigation. Karnani expressed his frustration on social media, stating, "We were attacked... The local police took their side, stating they were patrolling." He also shared footage of the incident to highlight the severity of the attack.
The police are yet to make any arrests in connection with the incident.
