Pune|August 02,2025: Despite rising crime and public fear over the notorious Koyata gang, lawlessness in Pune continues unabated. In a shocking incident that raises serious questions about police safety, two Pune Police Crime Branch constables were brutally assaulted by a group of youths in the Khadki area late last night.
