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).
According to police reports, a complaint was filed by Gorakh Rangrao Javalkar (52), a resident of Bivri in Naigaon (Haveli).

Police said the complainant and the accused are close relatives who live near each other. The dispute began after their father transferred a portion of land through a gift deed in the name of one son and an elder daughter. This decision reportedly upset the elder brother, Rajesh Jawalkar.
Officials said Rajesh held a grudge over the property transfer and later confronted Gorakh Javalkar. The argument soon turned violent. Rajesh, along with the co-accused, allegedly abused Gorakh and his son Hitesh. They then attacked them using their hands and stones.
Both victims sustained injuries in the assault. Local residents gathered at the spot following the incident.
