Pune: The Kothrud police on Thursday registered a case against four men for beating up a 26-year-old man, for allegedly sending text messages to his woman classmate.

An officer from the Kothrud police said that the complainant is a resident of Wagholi and comes to Kothrud to attend cyber security classes. He texted his classmate asking her to share her notes with him.
