According to police, Vimalabai Karnuke, a resident of Pandhrabodi, had visited the ghat with her brother’s family for the ashes immersion ritual of Kisnabai Dahare. While returning, her brother Dilip Dahare was sitting near the pathway when an unknown youth allegedly stepped on his foot, triggering a verbal dispute that quickly escalated into a physical scuffle.
Within moments, five to six associates of the youth arrived at the spot, armed themselves with burning wooden logs taken from a nearby jhunka-bhakar stall, and attacked Dilip, inflicting severe head and hand injuries.
As the commotion grew, Dilip’s relatives Dinesh Dahare, Bandu Mandhare, Ajju Dighore, Vishal alias Ganesh Mandhare, and Arjun Chacharkar rushed to intervene but were also assaulted, sustaining injuries.
Khaparkheda police reached the spot immediately after receiving the alert and brought the situation under control. A case has been filed under charges of rioting, assault, and causing grievous injuries with intent.
Police have arrested Aditya Telgote and Ayush Telgote, while the search for the remaining accused is ongoing.
The incident has sparked concern among locals about safety management at the ghat, especially during rituals that draw large crowds.
