M.

The incident happened near Valiyavila junction in the Poojappura police station limits around 9.15 p.m. on Wednesday night, 30 January 2014. The incident was the result of a road rage leaving two persons injured after his car was blocked by an autorickshaw, shot two people Venkateswara Rao (47) and Manoj (35) with his revolver following a heated argument with some local people in Valiyavila. The man, allegedly in an inebriated condition, picked up a quarrel with the auto driver and locals there. He then went home to bring his service pistol and opened fire and fired three rounds at the crowd, police said. The crowd roughed him up, overpowered him, and managed to bring him under control. After the incident, the Police then arrived on the spot and the retired Army officer has landed in police custody for allegedly opening fire and took him into custody. He was taken to a hospital as he also suffered injuries. The two persons, who suffered bullet injuries, were rushed to hospital. The injured were taken to the Government Medical College Hospital and subjected to emergency surgeries. The condition of Mr. Rao, who was shot in the abdomen with one bullet piercing through his stomach was serious, but he recovered while Mr. Manoj, who was injured in the right leg, was out of danger, according to available information. The Colonel was later arrested by the police. It is said that he was under the influence of alcohol at the time of incident. "According to eye-witnesses, the ex-service man was travelling in a car and an autorickshaw allegedly blocked his way near Valiyavila junction.
