They added that one of the accused called the accused by his nickname and cursed, which suggested the involvement of an acquaintance.
The complainant, aged 45, told the police that he is involved in agriculture and real estate work. He also has a farmhouse in Bhanour village opposite a petrol pump on Ferozepur Road, where he has an office. On July 9, he said that he reached his house around midnight and went to sleep.
The next morning, he said that he saw an empty shell and a broken glass bottle near the gate.
On checking footage of the CCTV camera installed in his house, he found that at around 1.45am on the intervening night of July 9 and 10, a white I-20 car drove up. He added that three to four youths stepped out of the car and one lobbed a petrol bomb towards the main gate of his house. The bottle fell near the gate, causing a minor fire. Meanwhile, the others fired about four to five shots towards the main gate of the house.
The complainant said that two bullets hit the main gate of the house while one hit a palm tree inside the house. "I was very scared, which is why I could not come to you until now to give information," he said in a statement.

Police investigate Kick Streamer's paintball incident that sent one to emergency
Image via: Instagram/@xenathewitcher The Austin Police Department has launched an inquiry regarding a paintball incident that injured a woman allegedly involving Kick streamer XenaTheWitch. The injury occurred on Saturday, August 9, 2025, along Lakeshore Boulevard during an in-person scavenger hunt organized by a controversial internet personality Paul "Ice Poseidon" Denino. KVUE, a local station, had it that several livestreamers were drawn to the event where they would race across North America and complete challenges for a huge prize of $30,000. Some participants, however, seemed to have taken out their paintball guns and started firing in public areas without considering the safety of others. Incident Captured on Stream A snippet shown on the fellow streamer BennyMack's broadcast recorded XenaTheWitch firing her paintball gun, hitting the woman on the left thigh.

Public Backlash and Accountability Calls Clips of the incident have been circulating on platforms like Reddit and X, with an audience clamoring for justice. Redditor said, "I hope they turn Xenathewitch in for this," ironically picking up on the trending topic among the online population, insinuating that streamers should pay for their reckless behavior in public broadcasts. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like How to Ease Knee Pain Without Injections or Side Effects Read More Undo Lack of protective gear from the victim has become another major topic, given that paintball guns can bruise and injure significantly in the absence of safety equipment.
