The Pimpri Chinchwad police have taken swift action by registering a case against a fifty-three-year-old man. This individual stands accused of violently assaulting a medical practitioner. The attack occurred because the doctor had previously lodged a complaint against the accused with the authorities.
Doctor Sustains Multiple Injuries in Brutal Assault
The victim, a forty-year-old resident of Bhamboli village, suffered significant harm. He sustained injuries to his face, hands, and legs during the altercation. After receiving necessary medical treatment at a local hospital, the doctor took further legal steps. He filed another formal complaint with the Mahalunge MIDC police station to ensure justice.
Police Book Accused Under Stringent BNS Sections
Law enforcement officials have invoked serious charges against the accused. They booked him under sections 118 and 126 of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita. Section 118 pertains to voluntarily causing grievous hurt using dangerous weapons or means. Section 126 addresses the offense of wrongful restraint, highlighting the severity of the incident.
Background of the Land Dispute Leading to Violence
An officer from the Mahalunge MIDC police provided crucial context. The victim had purchased a three thousand square foot plot of land from the accused. This land was intended for the construction of the doctor's hospital. Approximately two months prior to the assault, tensions escalated dramatically.
The accused, accompanied by his son, physically blocked the road leading to the hospital site. They also verbally abused the medical practitioner during this confrontation. In response, the doctor filed a formal complaint application at the police station. Authorities later managed to mediate and settle this initial dispute amicably.
Detailed Account of the Violent Attack
The situation took a violent turn on the evening of January fifteenth. Around seven thirty PM, the victim was returning home in his personal car. The accused intercepted the vehicle and forced it to stop. While the doctor remained seated in the driver's seat, the assailant punched him forcefully through the open window.
The attacker then began shouting abuses at the victim. He was furious that the doctor had approached the police against him earlier. In a fit of rage, he dragged the medical practitioner out of the car. The accused proceeded to beat the victim brutally with a wooden stick. He also issued dire threats of further consequences before fleeing the scene promptly.
Police Response and Ongoing Investigation
The police response was immediate and coordinated. A team rushed to the location of the assault upon receiving information. They arranged for the injured doctor to be transported to a nearby hospital for urgent medical care. Officers are currently conducting an active search operation to locate and apprehend the accused individual. The investigation remains ongoing as authorities gather more evidence and statements.
