On April 19, a gunfight occurred in Shiggaon town’s Rajashree theatre in Haveri. Manjunath a.k.a. Santhosh a.k.a. Mallik Patil, the primary culprit, was detained on May 20.
Vasanth Kumar Shivapura, a 27-year-old Mugali village native, was gravely injured when the principal culprit fired while watching the super successful movie ‘KGF: Chapter 2’.
Vasanth Kumar and his four buddies had come to see the movie. Two shots struck him in the abdomen and thigh. Three rounds were fired from a pistol by the criminal.
After the accused placed his leg on the victim’s seat, a fight ensued. The verbal brawl became so heated that the perpetrator, who had also arrived with his friends, pulled out his pistol and fired a shot at the victim. The audience had fled the theater, fearful for their safety.
Director-General and IGP Praveen Sood has announced a cash prize of Rs 1 lakh for the police team for nabbing all the culprits.
