In a shocking incident, a constable from the State Reserve Police Force (SRPF) fired indiscriminately and killed three persons in the Daund  taluk of Pune district on Tuesday.

The shooter has been identified as Sanjay Shinde, who was attached to the Indian Reserve Battalion Group-VII of the SRPF based in Daund.

Later, policemen from the Pune Rural police, SRPF and Quick Reaction Team reached the house  where Shide was hiding  and persuaded him to surrender.
