On Monday night in Indore, Madhya Pradesh, a dispute over a blocked road for a Garba pandal turned deadly when an ex-Army man allegedly shot a 26-year-old youth. The deceased, Rakshit Chaukde, succumbed to his injuries the following morning after being struck in the abdomen by a bullet. The incident unfolded around 10.15 pm at Krishna Bagh Colony, where the victim and Keshav Rahane, a BMW software engineer from Pune, found themselves in conflict over the use of a street blocked for the celebrations.
According to reports, Keshav had come to Indore for Dussehra and encountered Rakshit, whose son was involved in an altercation. Keshav reportedly asked Rakshit to remove his parked vehicle, leading to an argument that escalated into a physical fight. Rakshit allegedly struck Keshav with a chair, causing an injury. Keshav then called for his father, an ex-army personnel, who arrived with a licensed .32-bore pistol and opened fire, killing Rakshit.
Both Keshav and Neeraj Rahane have been arrested and sent to jail. The victim's family had threatened to protest over their demands, but police intervened to allow the last rites to proceed. Four criminal cases were already registered against Rakshit, including attempts to murder and molestation. Police are currently conducting further investigations into the fatal incident.
