In a development in the recent firing case in Antop Hill, Mumbai, police on Tuesday arrested a 26-year-old man who had jumped parole. Vivek Shettiyar, who had been released during the COVID-19 pandemic but did not return to jail at the end of parole period, was also allegedly planning to kill two other persons in the city, an official said, reported PTI.

On Saturday morning, Shettiyar allegedly shot Akash Kadam (35) in the stomach with a country-made pistol. As the pistol got jammed, he could not fire another round and fled from the spot, leaving an injured Kadam behind, police said. According to the police, Kadam was with him in the prison, reported PTI.
