Youths Create Havoc in Wagholi After Ajit Pawar's Warning
In the early hours of Wednesday, five young people who were not identified used big knives called koytas to break lights in front of shops in Wagholi, Pune.
They also tried to hit some cars with these knives.
This happened just one day after Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar told the police that these 'koyta gangs' should not be seen in the city.
He said this in front of the Chief Minister, Devendra Fadnavis.
The government is also adding more police stations and police officers in Pune and nearby areas to help keep the city safe.
Five unidentified youths used machetes to break lights and attempt to strike vehicles in Wagholi, Pune.
