The chaos that erupted had its origins in a conflict involving Vitthal Shelar. It is alleged that Shelar brandished a firearm, directing threats towards Siddhesh Hagavane in relation to business-related concerns.

The focus of their aggression was Shelar’s office, which fell victim to a targeted attack involving the hurling of rocks and plant pots.

Additionally, the gang took aim at vehicles departing the premises, pelting them with projectiles.
