Bar Owner Shot Dead in Pune's Shirur After Previous Dispute; Three Suspects Sought
A 33-year-old bar owner, Harish Dadabhau Gangawane, was shot dead early Friday in Shirur, Pune, following a dispute linked to a previous argument over a bar bill. The suspects—Rohit Sonawane, Aniket Gavhane, and Aditya Pawar—are absconding. Police investigations revealed prior conflicts between the victim and accused, including a confrontation the night before the shooting. Local intervention temporarily calmed tensions, but the dispute escalated, leading to Gangawane being shot at close range and declared dead at a hospital. Police continue to search for the suspects.
