The police said a bullet misfired from the loaded pistol and hit Gawali – who was riding a two-wheeler ahead of Khawale – in the shoulder, leaving him bleeding. Officers said the youngsters initially took him to a private hospital before Gawali was shifted to Sassoon General Hospital in Pune at night for further treatment.
