Pune: City witnessed a troubling incident this week as a violent street fight broke out amid heavy rain at the busy World Trade Center (WTC) chowk in Kharadi’s IT Park. The entire episode was caught on camera by a passerby, and the video has since gone viral on social media, stirring public debate about safety in the city.
Footage from the scene shows a man stepping out of his car to physically attack a motorcyclist, while a woman riding with the biker attempts to intervene. Moments later, another individual arrives wielding a pipe-like object and tries to hit the car occupant before being held back by a bystander.
The incident unfolded in broad daylight during a downpour, shocking bystanders and creating an atmosphere of chaos. Early reports suggest the fight may have stemmed from a minor accident or heated exchange between the parties involved. Thankfully, no serious injuries have been reported.
Nevertheless, the occurrence in a high-profile commercial hub like Kharadi IT Park has alarmed local residents and professionals who work in the area. Many have voiced concerns over the growing frequency of such violent episodes across Pune, questioning whether the city is losing its grip on public safety.
Citizens and IT workers alike have called on local law enforcement to ramp up security measures and improve police presence in busy commercial districts like Kharadi to prevent similar incidents and reassure the public.
