Pune Shopkeeper's Sons Jailed for Stabbing Customer Over Ironing Dispute

• Thirteen years ago, a customer, Hardik Bhalchandra Pingle, was attacked at an ironing shop in Chakan, Pune, following a dispute over quickly ironing clothes.
• Pingle requested his clothes be ironed quickly for a wedding, leading to a verbal argument with shopkeeper Vasantrao Fulavare.
• Vasantrao's sons, Tejas Fulavare and Sachin alias Pappu Fulavare, escalated the argument, verbally abused Pingle, and attacked him with scissors, causing serious injuries.
• A case was registered at Chakan Police Station, and the Rajgurunagar court recently sentenced Tejas and Sachin Fulavare to 3 years of rigorous imprisonment and a 2,000 rupee fine each.
• Shopkeeper Vasantrao Fulavare was acquitted due to lack of evidence, while the court emphasized the importance of this verdict for societal discipline.

Why It Matters: Two brothers received 3-year rigorous imprisonment for a 2013 scissors attack over an ironing dispute in Pune.
