Three for attempt to murder in Pune

Pune: The Bhosari MIDC police registered a case against three men on the charge of attempting to kill a 25-year-old resident of Mahatma Phulenagar with a sharp weapon and an iron rod early last week. The police registered a case against the trio under sections 109 (murder attempt), 351 (criminal intimidation), and 3(5) (common intention) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). An officer from the Bhosari MIDC police said the complainant on Oct 13 quarreled with one of the three accused, who is also a resident of Mahatma Phulenagar in Bhosari.

"On Monday [Oct 14] around 7am, when the victim and his friend were on their way to work, the suspect and his two accomplices from Katraj attacked him with the weapons," the officer said. He said the victim sustained injuries to his head, neck and shoulder. When people on the road tried to save him, the suspect threatened to kill them with the billhook.

"Following which, the people started running helter-skelter," he said. The officer said the police have ascertained the identities of the three. "Our investigations are ongoing," he said.
