The man could snatch only half of it," Mahavarkar said.
He said the man again threatened Kulkarni for the remaining part of the chain. When Kulkarni started pushing the man out of the store, the latter fired a bullet towards Kulkarni and drove away on a motorcycle, Mahavarkar said.
The Pimpri Chinchwad commissioner of police (CP), Vinoy Kumar Choubey, had fanned 10 teams to arrest the suspect. Inspector Dhamal said, "Our team started checking footage of CCTV cameras on the route the accused used to escape after the incident."
He said the scrutiny of the CCTV cameras' footage revealed that Ghare changed motorcycles thrice while driving away from the spot. "Our team, comprising assistant police inspectors Dattatreya Guling, Pandurang Devkate, and constables Somnath More and Mohsin Attar traced the suspect's trail to Chikhali," Dhamal said.
Dhamal said the area where the suspect lived was overcrowded. "We identified Ghare with the help of his body structure. We took him into custody on August 6. During the custodial interrogation, he admitted to his involvement in the firing in Pimpri," Dhamal said.

Bengaluru blast: 8-year-old boy killed, 9 injured in suspected LPG leak at Wilson Garden; 13 house damaged
BENGALURU: A suspected liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) leak triggered a powerful explosion in Chinayanapalya, Wilson Garden, here on Friday, killing an eight-year-old boy and injuring nine others. The blast damaged at least a dozen houses in the area, leaving nearly 60 residents homeless. The victim, A Mubarak, was the second child of Amanulla and Rabina, whose house stood adjacent to that of Aiyappan and Kasturamma (Kasturi), where the blast is believed to have originated. According to the victim's cousin, he died after the house collapsed in the impact of the explosion and the debris came crashing on him.

Though the real reason behind the explosion, which occurred around 8 am, is yet to be ascertained, authorities believe it might have occurred after someone had turned on a gas stove or some electrical appliance. The blast was so powerful that it almost flattened the houses of Kasturi and Mubarak, and damaged several others in the cheek-by-jowl residential block. Two fire tenders were rushed to the spot after a distress call was received at 8.45 am. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like It's Affordable and Actually Works Undo Kasturi and her eightyear-old daughter Kial are undergoing treatment for serious burn injuries at Victoria Hospital. The other injured residents are Sarasamma (55), Tabrina Bhanu (35), Fatima (8), Subramani (62), Sheik Nazibulla (37), Pramila (38), and Rajesh (40). Many of the occupants of the affected houses are daily wage earners, while some run small businesses. Chief minister Siddaramaiah, who visited the spot along with local MLA and transport minister Ramalinga Reddy, said preliminary reports from the police and BBMP pointed to a gas leak-triggered explosion. 'The bereaved family will receive Rs 5 lakh compensation. BBMP will bear the hospital expenses and reconstruct the damaged houses,' the CM said, adding that at least 13 houses were affected. BBMP chief commissioner Maheshwar Rao said the final tally of the number of houses damaged was yet to be determined. 'Close to 60 people may need temporary shelter. We will arrange accommodation at Jain Bhavan,' he said. City police commissioner Seemanth Kumar Singh said the exact cause would be confirmed only after a forensic examination. 'Prima facie, it appears to be a gas leak-related fireball explosion,' he added. The house next to Kasturi's belonged to Mubarak's parents. 'His father, Amanullah, had stepped out for prayers, while his mother, Sabrina, was out washing clothes. Mubarak, who was asleep, and his sister were inside. While the sister sustained injuries, Mubarak died as the debris crushed the lower part of his body,' recalled the victim's cousin Tasmiya. While Kasturi's family was new to the locality, Mubarak's family had been living there for years, she said. Stay updated with the latest local news from your city on Times of India (TOI).
