The alleged perpetrators fired 15-16 rounds and fled the scene. &ldquo;The incident took place around 3.30 pm. Primary investigations suggest two alleged perpetrators fired 15-16 rounds, resulting in four injuries and one fatality. The crime branch has formed several teams to investigate the matter,&rdquo; stated DCP Raj Tilak Roushan.

He was out on parole in 2016. We suspect his murder stems from personal rivalry,&rdquo; said an officer from Chunabhatti.
Two people have been called for questioning in the matter.
&ldquo;Around 3 pm, a four-wheeler passed by, and two unknown men emerged, suddenly opening fire, causing injuries and one death. They were all on the ground, and we rushed to the hospital,&rdquo; said a witness, preferring anonymity.
The injured have been identified as Roshan Lokhande, 30, Madan Patil, 54, Akash Khandagle, 31, and an 8-year-old girl.

&ldquo;My husband had gone to attend a nearby function. He was happy, and suddenly I received a call informing me of his shooting. He&rsquo;s severely injured and unable to communicate. I seek justice; he had no involvement in any rivalry. This is a <a href="https://www.mid-day.com/mumbai/mumbai-news/article/mumbai-investment-banker-duped-of-rs-17-90-crore-23325749" target="_blank" rel="none noopener">sudden shock</a>, and coping with it is overwhelming. I haven&rsquo;t seen my husband in so much pain,&rdquo; said the victim&rsquo;s wife anonymously.
A relative of the minor who was shot said that the girl was playing on the street when the incident occurred.
&ldquo;What mistake did she make? She&rsquo;s been shot in the hand and is in excruciating pain. She underwent surgery and is recovering well,&rdquo; said the relative.
&ldquo;We have identified the suspects and believe the shooting stemmed from personal rivalry,&rdquo; said DCP Zone 6, Hemarajsingh Rajput.&nbsp;
