The complainant Police Constable Subhash Ambadas Lande (55), attached to Sakkardara Traffic Division, was on duty on Monday, February 24, at Chamat Square.

Furious over action against him, the accused Arvind Mete planned to settle score with the police constable in deadly manner.
On Thursday, around 6 pm, the Traffic Police Constable Lande was going towards Telephone Nagar Square on Umred Road on his two-wheeler (MH-49/AF 3927) for performing duty. Midway near Gracius Hospital, Bhandeplot Square, the accused Arvind Mete and his one accomplice intercepted Lande by their Omni car. The accused rammed his car into Lande’s two-wheeler with forceful impact. As Lande fell on the road, the accused tried to kill him by running the Omni car on him. Lande received serious injuries but survived the attack.
