Munisekar had earlier courted controversy in 2017 when he accidentally fired a bullet while raiding an abandoned building in Rajasthan’s Pali district, killing Tamil Nadu police inspector S Periyapandian. The raid was conducted to nab criminal Nathuram and his gang members who had robbed 3.5 kg of gold from a jewellery shop in Kolathur, Chennai.
