Delivery boy injured as country-made pistol ‘misfires' in Pune's Hadapsar
A delivery boy was injured in the Hadapsar area of Pune allegedly after his cousin's country-made pistol misfired on Thursday night. His condition is reportedly stable. The police identified the injured person as Vaibhav Shravan Gawali, 20, a resident of Keshav Nagar in Mundhwa. Officers detained his cousin for further investigation. Sanjay Mogale, Pune-Zone 5, Hadapsar police station, said the pistol and the two-wheeler used by the cousin have been seized. Rajkumar Shinde, Deputy Commissioner of Police, Pune-Zone 5, said Gawali, his cousin Sumit Khawale, and friends were headed to a birthday party in Hadapsar on their two-wheelers when the incident occurred. At around 8.15 pm, while they were passing through Canal Road in Hadapsar's Satavwadi area, Khawale allegedly took out a country-made pistol which he possessed illegally. 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. On receiving information, a team of police officers rushed to the spot for investigation. Meanwhile, the officers also initiated procedures to lodge a First Information Report (FIR) against Khawale at Hadapsar police station under sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and the Arms Act. The police are investigating further to understand why Khawale procured the country-made pistol illegally. In November 2021, Amar Chavan, 34, a resident of Warje Malwadi in Pune, was injured in the stomach after a bullet was misfired from a pistol. A case was registered and three people were subsequently booked on charges of attempt to murder and various sections of the Indian Arms Act. The investigation revealed that Chavan's friend Gaurav Birungikar had illegally procured the country-made pistol. He was allegedly demonstrating the pistol's functioning to Chavan when it misfired.
