A group of six men carrying koytas or machetes attacked the staff of a medical shop in Maharashtra's Pimpri-Chinchwad on Saturday, the police said.
The video of the incident has gone viral on social media.
The men enter the medical shop carrying machetes and attack a staff member, the video shows.
They are seen vandalising the shop and threatening the other staff member at the counter when he tries to intervene.
They also vandalised some vehicles in Kamgar Nagar area before attacking the medical shop.
Similar attacks involving such gangs were reported in Pune too, officials said, adding that abut 100 such incidents have been reported in the state over the last four months.
Incidents involving what the locals call 'koyta gangs' terrorising the public by brandishing machetes are on the rise in some districts of Maharashtra despite the recent uproar in the state assembly.
Such groups of criminals are called 'koyta gangs' because of the weapons used by them, officials said.
Deputy Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis had in January instructed the police to take strict action against koyta gang members for unleashing terror in the state.
