A 34-year-old bodybuilder and gym trainer, Vedprakash Mishra, was apprehended by Gittikhadan police in Nagpur on Saturday for allegedly discharging a firearm. The incident, which occurred on Friday in Surendragarh, involved Mishra firing two rounds into the air while reportedly under the influence of alcohol. Police discovered the weapon, a country-made pistol, concealed at his residence.
Mishra, a notable fan of Bollywood actor Salman Khan, was reportedly frustrated by failed attempts to meet the actor. The investigation into the firing incident suggests a possible altercation after Mishra refused a loan to a truck driver, who then allegedly offered him the firearm and ammunition. Authorities are working to establish the precise sequence of events and the weapon's origin.
Police recovered the firearm, along with two live cartridges and an empty casing, valued at Rs 25,600. The anti-prohibition squad, under senior supervision, registered a case against Mishra. The charges include violations of the Arms Act for illegal possession of firearms and ammunition, as well as provisions of the Maharashtra Police Act.
