Man Arrested for Firing Licensed Gun After Badminton Defeat in Kurnool

A real estate businessman has been taken into custody after he allegedly fired three rounds into the ground from his licensed revolver outside a badminton academy here, following his team's defeat in the semifinals of a tournament, police said on Monday.

The incident occurred on Sunday evening outside the Badminton Academy, where the Kurnool Badminton Premier League (KBPL) has been underway for the past four weeks. However, no one



was injured in the firing.

"Kaushik, who possesses a valid licence for a .32 revolver, fired three rounds on the ground out of frustration after his team lost the morning semifinals. 

Fortunately, no one sustained any injuries," Kurnool Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Raghavendra told reporters late on Sunday. The DSP said Kaushik has been taken into police custody and the weapon seizure was underway.
