A 50-year-old retired soldier, identified as Naga Malleshwar Rao, was taken into custody by Hyderabads Cyberabad police for opening fire twice in the air after an argument with a group of around 40 youngsters, who were partying in his apartment block ahead of Ganesh Visarjan ceremony late on August 27 night.
According to police, the incident took place at a residential apartment at Hyder Shah Kote area under Narsingi police station in the citys outskirts. Narsingi police inspector Gandaghar informed reporters that a group of around 40 youth associated with a broadband service company, which has its office in the same apartment block, had brought in a Lord Ganeshas idol in the premises.
The group had planned to immerse the idol on August 27 night. Before the immersion, they hosted a party in the premises. They were reportedly drinking liquor and grooving to loud music. After objection from some residents of the society, the group assured them that they would disperse soon, however, they still continued partying.
Angered by the loud music playing till late at night, Rao approached the youngsters and yelled at them for disturbing everybody, which subsequently led to an heated argument between him and the youngsters. After some time, some of the youngsters visited Raos apartment and indulged into a fight. In a fit of rage, Rao pulled out his weapon and fired two rounds in the air. One of the bullets reportedly went past near an ear of one of the youngsters. After that all the employees of the company fled the spot, the police informed.
After receiving a complaint from the apartment residents, police rushed to the spot, arrested Rao and seized his weapon. The incident spot was sealed by the police for investigation. We have registered a case under Arms Act. We have also booked a case against the youngsters for violating COVID-19 norms. Further investigation is underway, the police official informed.
