An incident of brutal attack has come to light from Pune's Yerawada, where a 27-year-old man allegedly assaulted a wine shop employee with a sharp weapon for refusing to provide alcohol on credit.

The accused has been identified as Rohit Pille (27), a resident of Jay Jawan Nagar, Lakshminagar, Yerawada.
According to the police, Pille entered the shop and demanded alcohol on credit, assuring he would pay later. However, the wine shop employee, Karan Santosh Ahuja (28), a resident of Vishrantwadi, refused to provide him alcohol, as giving alcohol on credit was not permitted by the owner.
