Mumbai, Feb. 23 -- A 52-year-old resident of Mahagaon in Boisar, Palghar district, sustained critical injuries after being shot inside his home in the early hours of Monday in what police believe was a fallout of a dispute linked to his son's love marriage.
The accused, identified as Umesh Gharat, is currently absconding and multiple police teams have been deployed to trace him.
The incident occurred between 2 a.m. and 3 a.m. when Gharat allegedly forced his way into the residence of Suresh Raja Varkhande (52), who lives at Mahagaon Valve Phata, and fired at him using a pistol. Varkhande suffered a gunshot wound to the back of his head and collapsed on the spot.
He was rushed to Adhikari Lifeline Hospital in Betegaon for initial treatmen...
