POLICE HAVE launched a probe after bike borne suspects fired in the air at four different locations in Talegaon Dabhade town, Maval taluka, in Pune district Thursday night. An initial probe suggested that no person was injured in these firing incidents.

Crime Branch of Pimpri Chinchwad police and the local police station have launched a joint manhunt for the three or more bike-borne suspects. The firing was reported sometime after 8.30 pm at four different locations on the internal roads of Talegaon Dabhade town, located 40 km from Pune City. Two of the four locations are Gajanan Maharaj Chowk and the vicinity of Hanuman temple.

“An initial probe suggests three persons were riding one bike. Some witness accounts suggest there were more suspects accompanying them on another bike. This same set of suspects is believed to have opened fire at four different locations on Talegaon Dabhade’s internal roads. From some locations we have seized empty bullet casings,” said a senior officer from Pimpri Chinchwad police.

The officer added, “We are scrutinising CCTV footage from cameras on the path they traversed. Teams from the crime branch and Talegaon Dabhade police station are investigating.”
