2012 Pune Blast Accused Out on Bail Shot Dead in Maharashtra
In a shocking turn of events, 2012 Pune serial blasts accused Bunty Jahagirdar, who was out on bail, was allegedly shot dead by unidentified assailants in the Ahilyanagar district on Wednesday. The incident has sent shockwaves across the state, with authorities scrambling to ascertain the motive behind the attack.
According to eyewitnesses, Jahagirdar was attacked by two bike-borne persons when he was returning from a burial ground along with another person. The assailants, who were riding a motorcycle, stopped Jahagirdar’s vehicle and opened fire, killing him on the spot. The other person accompanying Jahagirdar was reportedly unhurt in the attack.
The police were quick to respond to the incident, with Ahilyanagar SP Somnath Gharge rushing to the scene to take stock of the situation. “The motive behind the attack is yet to be ascertained,” Gharge said, adding that an investigation has been launched to identify the perpetrators and determine the circumstances surrounding the attack.
Jahagirdar was one of the accused in the 2012 Pune serial blasts case, which had left several people injured and caused widespread damage to property. He had been granted bail in the case and was out on bail at the time of his death.
The 2012 Pune serial blasts had occurred on August 1, 2012, when four low-intensity explosions rocked the city, causing panic and chaos. The blasts had occurred at different locations in the city, including the famous Junglee Maharaj Road, where several people were injured.
The investigation into the blasts had revealed that the attacks were carried out by a group of individuals with alleged links to a terror outfit. Several people were arrested in connection with the blasts, including Jahagirdar, who was accused of being involved in the conspiracy.
The killing of Jahagirdar has raised several questions, with many wondering if the attack was linked to his involvement in the 2012 Pune serial blasts case. While the police have not ruled out any possibility, they are still investigating the matter to determine the motive behind the attack.
The incident has also sparked concerns about the safety of individuals who are out on bail in connection with terror cases. Many have questioned the effectiveness of the bail system, which allows individuals accused of serious crimes to be released on bail, potentially putting others at risk.
As the investigation into Jahagirdar’s killing continues, the police are working to identify the perpetrators and determine the circumstances surrounding the attack. The incident has highlighted the need for increased security measures to be put in place to prevent such attacks in the future.
In the meantime, the family and friends of Jahagirdar are in shock, struggling to come to terms with the sudden loss of their loved one. The incident has also sparked a debate about the need for stricter laws to deal with terror cases, with many calling for more severe punishments for those involved in such activities.
As the state of Maharashtra grapples with the aftermath of the attack, one thing is clear – the killing of Bunty Jahagirdar is a grim reminder of the dangers posed by terror and the need for increased vigilance to prevent such incidents in the future.
