The Story in Brief
A 40-year-old IT employee was taken into custody after allegedly firing an air gun from his balcony for about 45 minutes at Sipani Apartments near Bandapura in Bengaluru’s Anekal. Times Now reports that Anurag Tiwari, a Lucknow native living at the complex for eight months, was intoxicated after an argument over the phone. Police said pellets damaged a parked car and a parking shed, and were fired towards security guards who approached. Surya Nagar police seized the air gun and pellets after residents complained. A case has been registered and an investigation is underway.
The Indian Opinion
The easy story is that this was merely a drunken outburst, or that an air gun cannot cause serious harm. Both readings are careless. Firing repeatedly from a balcony, damaging property and aiming towards guards creates a public safety risk regardless of the weapon’s label. The investigation should establish the firearm’s specifications, the number of pellets fired and whether anyone was injured. Those facts, not apartment gossip, should guide the charges.
