Drunk Bengaluru Techie Fires Air Gun at Guards and Cars
A man who was very drunk started shooting small pellets from an air gun out of his apartment balcony.
Before that, he was shouting while talking on the phone in his apartment.
The small pellets hit parked cars and the metal sheets covering the parking area.
Security guards came running to see what was happening, and the man shot in their direction too.
The man is 40 years old and works for an IT company in Bengaluru, a big city in India.
Air guns shoot small pellets and are not as dangerous as real guns, but they can still hurt people.
The shooting lasted for nearly 45 minutes, which is a very long time.
Then the police arrived and took the man into custody.
The police took away his air gun and the pellets.
Now he is in trouble with the police, who are investigating what happened.
Anurag Tiwari, a 40-year-old IT professional, was taken into custody for allegedly firing an air gun from his balcony at security guards and parked cars.
The incident took place at Sipani Apartments near Bandapur in Anekal, on the outskirts of Bengaluru.
Tiwari, a native of Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh and employed at a private IT company in Whitefield, was allegedly heavily intoxicated and shouting during a phone call before the firing.
The pellets struck parked cars and the metal sheets covering the parking area, and Tiwari allegedly also fired in the direction of security guards who rushed to the spot.
Police seized the air gun and pellets and registered a case at Surya Nagar Police Station; further investigation is underway.
