Rajkot: A man was arrested on Monday for allegedly injuring his brother-in-law after shooting at him in Keshod of Junagadh district. Police said the accused, Pradeep Kanagad (22), had fired one round at Bharat Kuvadia (24) on Friday night while the latter was asleep in the SUV which he used to drive as a driver.
“Kanagad was angry with Kuvadia as the latter had married his sister after eloping with her against the wishes of his family. In his complaint, Kuvadia gave the name of Kanagad as a suspect. He alleged that Kanagad and his father Naran used to threaten him over phone ever since he married Kanagad’s sister Kajal,” said R K Gohel, sub-inspector with Junagadh local crime branch.
“We picked up Kanagad from his residence on Kotharia Road in Rajkot. We recovered a pistol, a cartridge and a knife from his possession,” added Gohel.
