Rowdy Sheeter was arrested for shooting into the air to threaten the store owner

A rowdy sheeter was arrested by police in Suddaguntepalya on Thursday for allegedly firing into the air on September 20.

According to police, the accused, Sirajuddin alias Buldu, had gone to a plywood workshop owned by a man named Iliyas with whom he had a dispute over financial matters. Sirajuddin allegedly threatened Iliyas by putting a gun on his chest. Hearing the altercation, people from neighboring shops rushed to the spot.

At this point, Sirajuddin allegedly warned bystanders not to interfere and fired into the air. He then tried to escape on his bicycle. However, supporters of Iliyas managed to catch Mohammad Khurram Pasha, the pillion rider on Sirajuddin’s bike, and allegedly beat him up.

The locals later lodged a complaint at Suddaguntepalya police station, which led to the arrest of Sirajuddin.
