Pune city police have launched a probe after at least five pellets were fired from an air gun at the windows of a house in Salunkhe Vihar area of Pune’s Kondhwa around Saturday noon. While no one from the house was injured, the incident did create panic in the area. Police have detained a 29-year-old person who is suspected to have fired the pellets and seized the air gun.
Around Saturday noon, the Pune police responded to a call made to the emergency response control room about firing on the windows of the house of Manoj Shrikant Kanade (50), in a residential building in Salunkhe Vihar locality of Kondhwa. “When our team visited the house, we found there were impact marks of pellets–one on a window glass on the ground floor and four more on a window glass on the first floor. Two pellets were found in the house. Initial observations based on the impact marks suggested that pellets were fired from a building across the street. We detained a suspect identified as Bilal Zulphikar Shaikh. During questioning, Shaikh admitted to having fired pellets,” said Inspector Abdul Rauf Shaikh, Kondhwa police station.
“We have detained the suspect along with the air gun. We are questioning the suspect on why the person resorted to firing which could have potentially led to injury to people. Primary probe suggests the person was using the air gun for recreational purposes. Prima facie there is no history of any dispute of the suspect with the residents of the house fired upon. Probe is on into the motive and how the suspect came to be in the possession of the air gun,” said an officer from Kondhwa police station.
