Pune: In a surprising incident, former corporator Vinod Jaywant Nadhe from Ajit Pawar's NCP faction was arrested alongside his cousin Sachin Nadhe after a gun was fired during a casual drinking session.
The incident occurred at around 8:45 PM on the first floor of Rahul Bar & Khushboo Hotel.
Vinod Nadhe, who carries a pistol for personal protection, was at the bar with his cousin Sachin and a few others when he received a call from his uncle.
During the phone conversation, his uncle advised him to take precautions and be careful. In response, Vinod assured his uncle that he carried a pistol for his safety.
Overhearing this, cousin Sachin, in a playful manner, questioned if he really had a gun. Sachin then took the pistol, loaded it, and fired a shot at a wall. The bullet hit a shelf used for storing plates, narrowly missing the people seated nearby.
Fortunately, no one was injured, but the incident alarmed others present at the bar. Once the police were notified, Wakad police took swift action, arresting both Vinod and Sachin Nadhe.
While no one was harmed, the reckless use of a firearm has led to legal consequences for the former corporator and his cousin. Police investigations are ongoing to further understand the situation.
