Nagpur: A seemingly minor incident during a game of cricket escalated into violence in the Kalamna area of Nagpur after a cricket ball landed on the roof of a house, leading to an alleged assault on a 21-year-old youth.

According to police, the incident took place at around 5 pm on June 25, 2026, at an open plot in Naveen Bhagat Nagar under Kalamna Police Station limits. The complainant, Tushar Nandkishor Chunne (21), a resident of Plot No. 45, Naveen Bhagat Nagar, was playing cricket with his friend, Shlok Raj Gautam, at the vacant plot.
