Ambernath, Maharashtra | Nov 18, 2025 – :
A violent attack in Ambernath has shocked residents after nine men riding motorcycles stormed into Phulenagar Wadi and assaulted a man with swords and sickles in broad daylight. The incident, which was captured on CCTV, shows a coordinated assault carried out within seconds before the attackers fled. The victim has been identified as Sudhir Omprakash Singh, who sustained severe injuries and is currently undergoing treatment.
According to the police, the attackers arrived on multiple bikes and surrounded Sudhir before launching a series of blows using sharp weapons. The video shows the group striking him repeatedly, leaving him bleeding on the road. Locals rushed to help and the injured victim was shifted to the hospital in serious condition. Officers from Ambernath West Police Station registered a case and have launched a search for all accused involved in the incident.
Initial reports suggest that the gang was familiar with the victim and may have targeted him intentionally. Investigators are examining whether the attack was linked to a past dispute or part of a larger gang rivalry in the area. Police have begun tracing bike numbers and are analysing the CCTV footage frame by frame to identify the attackers. Special teams have been formed and raids are expected in multiple locations.
The CCTV clip has gone viral on social media, sparking public outrage. Many residents have expressed fear that such a large group could move through a residential area carrying swords without being stopped. This has triggered criticism of local policing and the security environment in the Phulenagar–Wadi belt, which has seen several small gang clashes in the past.
Residents say that street lighting, patrolling, and immediate police response remain weak in several pockets of Ambernath. Some have warned that the attack should serve as a wake-up call before the situation worsens. The brazenness of the assault—taking place in a populated area without any attempt by the perpetrators to cover their faces—has raised concerns that the attackers felt confident they would not be interrupted.
Police officials have appealed to the public to help identify the men seen in the viral video. Anyone with information has been asked to contact Ambernath West Police Station. Investigators believe the group may be from nearby neighbourhoods and might have been seen before or after the attack by locals. Authorities are also checking recent crime and rivalry records for potential leads.
Meanwhile, Sudhir’s condition remains critical but stable according to doctors. He has suffered injuries to his back, arms, and legs and may require surgery. His family has urged the police to take swift action and ensure the attackers are caught as soon as possible.
The shocking spread of the footage has turned the case into a major talking point within the community. With public pressure building, the police are expected to make arrests soon. For now, Ambernath residents are waiting to see whether law enforcement can restore confidence after a crime that has exposed gaps in safety and surveillance.
