Shooter learnt how to handle guns during celebratory gunfires at weddings in UP: Cops

SHIV KUMAR Gautam, who allegedly fired six rounds at Baba Siddique, learned to use a gun while participating in celebratory gunfire during wedding celebrations in UP, claimed the two accused arrested by Mumbai police, during their interrogation. A senior police official said that the two accused Baljit Singh and Dharmraj Kashyap claimed that while Gautam was the main shooter, they were hired to be his backups, and practised loading and unloading firearms by watching youtube videos over the past one-month during their stay in Mumbai. The duo practised at a room they had rented in a Kurla chawl as they could not find any empty secluded spot in the city where they could fire rounds.

A crime branch officer said, “The main accused Gautam who we suspect as the one who fired on Siddique had told the other two accused that …
