Three booked for beating up pharmacist in Pune

PUNE: The Alankar police on Sunday booked three men on the charge of beating up a pharmaceutical distributor in Erandwane on Saturday evening.
Police said around 4pm on Saturday, three men approached the complainant, Shashikant Dangi (50) of Chandan Pharmaceuticals, and asked him about the crowd outside his shop. “Dangi told them that he was maintaining proper social distancing,” the officer said.
The trio, however, began abusing Dangi and his son. “They also beat him up and fractured the ring finger of his left palm,” the officer said.
“We have ascertained the identity of the trio. Our probe is on,” the officer added.
