Not satisfied with his version, police team brought him to Police Station and put him on sustained questioning during which he spilled the beans and admitted his guilt. He confessed that he had fired the shots from his licensed pistol to kill/threaten Chaman Kaith alias Rohan, son of Mohan Lal Kaith of South Extension Trikuta Nagar as some dispute was going on between him and family of Chaman Kaith.
He was immediately arrested and on his disclosure, weapon of offence (.32 bore pistol) alongwith 3 live rounds were recovered from the spot. Chaman Kaith escaped unhurt in the firing. However, the whole case of firing was solved within 1 hour by Bahu Fort Police.
