Businessman Detained for Firing Licensed Gun After Badminton Semifinal Loss in Andhra Pradesh
A real estate businessman named Kaushik was taken into custody after firing three rounds from his licensed .32 revolver into the ground outside a badminton academy in Kurnool, Andhra Pradesh. The incident occurred following his team's loss in the semifinals of the Kurnool Badminton Premier League. No injuries were reported. Police are investigating and have initiated the process to recommend cancellation of his arms licence. Kaushik was a team member, not captain, and the firing appeared to be an act of frustration.
