Gangaram Aher

The Vartak Nagar police have detained and registered a non-cognisable offence against a vegetable vendor for flashing a fake pistol at a man during an arts festival. The incident took place last morning, when Pradeep Shirsat noticed Gangaram Aher, 48, selling vegetables from his tempo near the festival premises. "Shirsat yelled at Aher, asking him to move. The latter, in a fit of rage, removed a gun-shaped lighter and threatened him," said a police officer from Vartak Nagar.
