In a shocking incident in Hyderabad, Balwinder Singh, a 25-year-old man, was arrested for allegedly shooting his girlfriend’s father, Revant Anand, with an air gun. The altercation occurred on Sunday after Revant reportedly decided to end his daughter Manveeta’s relationship with Balwinder and sent her to the United States. This decision led to a violent confrontation between Balwinder and Anand at the latter’s residence in Venkateswara Colony.
Shooting Captured on CCTV
The incident unfolded when Balwinder, a former classmate of Anand’s daughter, visited Anand’s house to confront him. An argument escalated quickly, leading Balwinder to pull out an air gun and shoot Anand in the right eye, causing serious injury.
