A spree of vandalism erupted in Bibvewadi around 11 p.m. on the night of Thursday, where a few individuals brazenly vandalised vehicles parked at Navachaitanya Mitra Mandal in Bibvewadi by brandishing machetes, wooden bamboos, and hocky sticks in the air to create terror in the area.

In the horrified act of vandalism, the accused damaged five parked autorickshaws, 15 to 20 two-wheelers, and one car by striking it with machetes and bamboo sticks. Because of this, terror had spread in the area.
