Hyderabad, a man allegedly opened fire on his girlfriend's father after the father sent her to the U.S. in an attempt to end their relationship. The incident took place in Venkateswara Colony within the jurisdiction of Saroonagar police station in Rachakonda Commissionerate. According to police reports, the accused, Balwinder Singh, used an airgun during an argument, injuring Revanth Anand, the father, as the bullet struck his eye.
Balwinder had reportedly been in a relationship with Anand's 23-year-old daughter for several years. When Anand learned of their relationship, he instructed his daughter to stop meeting Balwinder and warned him to cease contact. Despite this, they continued to communicate, leading Anand to send his daughter to the U.S. in an effort to separate them. Following this, Balwinder went to Anand’s residence, where an argument ensued, and, in a moment of rage, he fired the airgun. Anand was critically injured and taken to the hospital. Police, who quickly responded, later apprehended Balwinder and have filed a case, launching further investigations.
