A Bengaluru court on Friday sent 37-year-old designer Anurag Tiwari to 14-day judicial custody after his arrest for firing an airgun from his apartment balcony. Tiwari, a senior designer at Bridgestone Global Capability Centre, lived on the third floor of Sipani Bliss in Anekal. Around 2.30 am on Thursday, allegedly drunk, he fired aimlessly for over 40 minutes. The FIR accuses him of shooting at security personnel who tried to stop him. Tiwari told police he was frustrated over personal issues. Bridgestone India clarified that Tiwari is not its employee nor a partner channel member.
