An investigation into the firing incident in Kurar village on Saturday afternoon has led the cops to two angles — one, that it could be gangster Ravi Pujari's gang, or two, it could be the handiwork of local goon Uday Pathak.

Based on the modus operandi — where the shooters first fired in the air to scare people off and then left a letter on the ground demanding money, cops are saying that Pujari's gang members extorted money in a similar manner a few years ago.
