Woman critically injured as pistol misfires

In another incident, a 32-year-old woman sustained bullet injuries after a licensed pistol accidentally misfired while she was at her businessman friend’s house in East Bengaluru on Monday.

According to the police, Rachel, a Cox Town resident, has been hospitalised in a critical condition following the incident at Ashirwad Colony, Horamavu. The license of the pistol was in the name of her friend’s father, Narayanswamy.

The police said that Rachel was testing the revolver while her friend Nikhil Narayanswamy, who runs a family printing business, was in the washroom. The pistol misfired, striking Rachel in the stomach, and Nikhil immediately rushed her to the hospital, the police said.

The Hennur police have registered a case under Arms Act and have launched an investigation. “The pistol was licenced and we are yet to know the version of Rachel in the incident. We are probing the matter,” a police officer said.
