In homestay mishap, teen shoots herself with BF's gun
Palghar: A 17-year-old girl accidentally shot herself in the neck with her 18-year-old boyfriend's illegal country-made gun at a homestay in Kelwa, in Palghar district, on Friday.
The girl is undergoing treatment in the ICU of a hospital in Boisar, said police who have arrested the boyfriend and booked him for kidnap and attempt to murder under the BNS as well as under the Arms Act. They are also verifying if the homestay, Raut Residency, where the couple had rented a room, had followed the mandatory check-in formalities as the girl is a minor.
Palghar superintendent of police Yatish Deshmukh said that when the 18-year-old was in another room, the girl got her hands on the firearm and accidentally pulled the trigger and got shot in the neck. On receiving an alert, police reached the homestay and rushed the girl to a nearby hospital. Later, she was shifted to the Boisar hospital. Police also seized the illegal firearm and detained the boyfriend. He was later placed under arrest.
Police said they will produce him in court on Saturday to seek his custody. Deshmukh said the illegal firearm was sent for forensics analysis and the report is awaited. — Vishal Rajemahadik
