PUNE: A 20-year-old criminal on police records, Vighnesh Ashok Gore, suffered a bullet injury on his thigh after four men assaulted and opened fire at him on the Katraj-Kondhwa Road around Saturday midnight.
Senior inspector Sardar Patil of the Kondhwa police said, “Gore, who has two body offence cases to his name on police records, told the police in his statement that he had no idea who the assailants were and why they had opened fire at him. He was discharged after treatment at the Sassoon General Hospital.”
Based on Gore’s FIR lodged on Sunday morning, the police have filed a case under Section 307 (Attempt to murder) of the Indian Penal Code, besides the relevant provisions of the Indian Arms Act. “Gore is unemployed and stays in an SRA scheme located on the Katraj-Kondhwa Road,” Patil said.
