Brother Assaults Sibling & Nephew Over Land Gift Deed Dispute In Pune

Pune: A dispute over a land gift deed turned violent in Haveli tehsil of Pune District, where an elder brother allegedly assaulted his younger brother and nephew, leaving them injured.

The incident took place on Monday, around 3 pm, in Bivri village under the jurisdiction of Lonikand Police Station (under the Pune City Police Commissionerate).
