Pune: Youth Waiting to Meet Friend Outside Yerwada Jail Attacked by Gang

A youth was intercepted and beaten up by a gang after he arrived to meet a friend who had just been released from Yerwada Jail. The gang created a scene of terror outside the jail, prompting the Yerwada police to register a case against eight individuals involved in the incident.

Among those charged are Mayur alias Yam Sarode (resident of Bhosari), Dnyaneshwar Londhe, and Yadu (both residents of Godown Chowk, Bhosari). Rishikesh Sunil Ghorpade (age 18, resident of Mohannagar, Bhosari) lodged the complaint at Yerwada Police Station, and Londhe has since been arrested by the police.
