LUCKNOW: Two shots were fired on Sunday morning in Gudamba in a petty brawl over pet's poop. Fortunately no one was injured but an FIR was registered against one for attempt to murder.

Narrating the incident, the victim, Santosh Singh 40, a resident of Pragati Vihar Colony in Gudamba area said, “Today at around 10 am, my unruly neighbour Atul Singh, fired two shots at me by a revolver when my wife complained to his spouse about the excreta which their dog had pooped in front of our house”. Atul came along with three persons and threatened to

kill me after firing shots, alleged Santosh. This is not the first time that Atul tried to show his muscle power. Earlier also he had clashed with other neighbours on the same issue, he claimed.

The firing of shots created panic in the area and neighbours rushed to intervene. Requesting anonymity, one of the neighbours said,” Atul is associated with a political party and has been involved in several criminal cases. Recently he was booked in a brawl with some persons in Alambagh area.”

According to police, two shells of the bullet casing were found from the spot after the firing incident. Atul has been booked under section 307 of IPC and section 27/30 of the Arms Act. Police recovered six bullets and a licensed pistol from him.

It may be mentioned that in August last year, four persons were killed while four others were critically injured in a similar kind of brawl on animal poop in Dudwa village of Bagpat district.
