Nagpur: A young man was kidnapped and nearly killed following a dispute over fireworks during a birthday celebration in Nagpur. The incident involved a group of men, including two Yuva Sena members, who allegedly abducted the victim, forced him into a car trunk, and took him to a remote location. The attackers threatened him with a gun and attempted to kill him with a knife.
The police have registered an FIR against seven individuals, including Pritam Kapse (33) from Bahadura, Sheikh Imran Shadab Akram Sheikh (28) from Shivsundernagar, Shubham alias Chadda Kailash Singh Chauhan (31) from Dighori, Shashidhar Tiwari (32) from Radheshwarnagar, Amir Khan (25), Nilesh Moon (30), and Pawan Ghuskar (30). Shubham and Imran have been arrested, while the search for the other accused is ongoing.
The incident occurred during the birthday celebration of Shashidhar Tiwari, a member of the Uddhav faction of Yuva Sena. Saurabh Sanjay Rannanvare (26), the victim, had attended the party, where a dispute arose after he objected to the loud fireworks being set off late at night. Though the initial disagreement was settled, the attackers later confronted Saurabh outside his home at around 1:30 AM, forced him into their car’s trunk, and took him to a quarry near Kuhi Fata.
At the quarry, the attackers brutally assaulted Saurabh. Pritam Kapse allegedly injured him with a knife and threatened him with a gun. After repeatedly pleading for his life, Saurabh was finally released around 4 AM.
The incident came to light when Saurabh’s friends and relatives realized he had been kidnapped and informed the police. Saurabh, injured but alive, managed to reach the Wathoda police station, where he filed a complaint. The police have registered a case under various sections of the law and are continuing their search for the remaining suspects.
