On Thursday, Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister Ajit Pawar issued a veiled warning to senior officers in the Pune Police for not being able to tackle crime in the city. The police, he said, may be "lacking somewhere".

Pune has seen several attacks recently by 'koyta' gangs, named after the machete-like weapons they use to hack opponents.

Asked about these gangs, Mr Pawar, who is an MLA from Baramati, said, "Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis (who also holds the Home portfolio) has taken serious cognizance of these cases. Being a representative of this area, I have also taken this issue very seriously."
