PUNE: A fake call to the Pimpri Chinchwad police control room implicating two person in a ‘firing’ case proved costly for a 25-year-old man from Kasarwadi. The caller had quarrelled with his neighbour and cooked up the story to get him into trouble.
The Bhosari police team led by senior inspector Bhaskar Jadhav arrested the caller under section 182 (false information, with intent to cause public servant to use his lawful power to the injury of another person) of the Indian Penal Code.
On Wednesday afternoon, a caller told the Pimpri Chinchwad police that he was fired upon by two persons whom he named. Beat marshals and senior police officers took the caller and the suspects into custody, but found no signs of a firing.
