Taking cognisance of a complaint raised by a woman on Twitter, the Pimpri-Chinchwad police identified and nabbed two men who were seen in a video obstructing the road and harassing the woman’s family on the Aundh-Ravet Road recently.
On March 12, the complainant Komal Shinde shared two videos showing two bike-borne men driving in front of the woman’s car on the Aundh-Ravet stretch, obstructing the road and actively preventing the car from overtaking them. The clips showed the men deliberately harassing the car’s occupants by driving slowly and repeatedly moving to the middle of the road in a bid to prevent the car from moving ahead. Shinde was accompanied by her husband and a baby at the time.

Shinde too posted a message of appreciation on Twitter. “Received an update from @PCCityPolice these goons have been caught. Thank you for taking the action. Hope they have learned a lesson. Let’s make the city a safe place for everyone. Installing dash cameras is going to be an added advantage,” she wrote.
