Bhiwandi Group’s Party Turns Reckless
According to police, the incident took place at Tulsi Resort, located in Kalamb near the Arnala coast in Virar (West). A group of tourists from Bhiwandi had arrived at the resort on Tuesday night for a party. During the celebration, one of the tourists, allegedly in a moment of excitement, pulled out an illegal country-made pistol and fired shots into the air.
A police patrol in the area heard the gunshots and immediately rushed to the resort. Initially, people present at the resort claimed that no such incident had taken place. However, during an inspection by senior police officers, empty bullet cartridges were recovered from the spot. A detailed investigation later confirmed that gunfire had indeed occurred.
Accused Is Bhiwandi Supplier, Aged 32
The accused has been identified as Sandesh Gurav (32), a building material supplier from Bhiwandi. Police said Gurav had come to the resort with his friends for a party.
