Pune: fake calls to the Pimpri Chinchwad police control room involving two people in the case of ‘shooting’ proved expensive for a 25-year-old man from Rudidwadi.
Callers have quarreled with their neighbors and cooking stories to make it difficult.
The Bhosari Police team led by Senior Inspector Bhaskar Jadhav arrested the caller under Section 182 (false information, with the intention of causing public servants to use his legitimate strength for other people’s injury) from the Criminal Procedure Code.
On Wednesday afternoon, a caller told Pimpri Chinchwad police that he was fired by the two people he named.
Beat Marshals and senior police officers took the caller and the suspect became custody, but did not find signs of shooting.
