In Pune's Hadapsar area, a 38-year-old police constable suffered severe injuries when a coconut hit her face during a Ganpati immersion event on September 25. The incident occurred around 9:15 pm at the immersion ghat in Sasane Nagar, where the constable was present to control the crowd during the idol immersion. A disagreement emerged over the removal of an idol from the tank, leading to a confrontation.
Three men allegedly began throwing stones at the gathered people. Amid the chaos, a coconut allegedly thrown by the suspects struck the constable in the face, causing her to lose one front tooth and two lower front teeth to become loose. She sustained serious injuries and received medical treatment. The constable later filed a complaint at the Kalepadal Police Station, leading to the registration of a case against Jitensingh Jitendrasingh Tak, 21, Chintusing Jitendrasingh Tak, and Rajveer Darasingh Bhod, all from Navin MHADA Colony in Wanawadi.
Police are investigating the dispute and the actions of the three accused, with Police Sub-Inspector Raut leading the further investigation.
