A year after civil contractor Tejbahadur Singh Thakur — owner of a redeveloped wada property at Limayewadi in Sadashiv Peth — was shot dead at his residence by unknown assailants last year, his son-in-law Jitendra Jainath Pal is now involved in a firing incident near the same building on Tilak Road with a former jail mate Abhishek Kasbe on Monday night.

The Vishrambaug police arrested Pal, who was out on bail, on Tuesday under Section 307 (attempt to murder) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC). Kasbe, who has a criminal record, is still absconding.
