Pune: A shocking incident of gunfire in broad daylight has shaken the residents of Inamdar Vasti in Uruli Kanchan, Pune.
Onlookers were alarmed when Bapu Shitole allegedly fired at three to four individuals, injuring one person. According to initial reports, the shooting stemmed from a financial disagreement between the involved parties.
The injured person was promptly rushed to the hospital, where they are receiving treatment for the gunshot wound. Fortunately, no fatalities have been reported.
Police officers arrived quickly at the scene and successfully apprehended the suspect, Bapu Shitole. Investigations into the exact nature of the financial dispute are underway, and a formal case is being registered against the accused.
The incident has sparked panic among local residents, as gun violence is relatively rare in the area.
Recently, 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 had 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.
