Lucknow, Sep 2: Union minister Kaushal Kishore’s son has been booked under the Arms Act, a day after a 30-year-old man was shot dead under mysterious circumstances at his home here, police said on Saturday.
Three men were arrested in connection with the case on Friday, police said. According to the minister, his son Vikas Kishore lives at his Lucknow residence but he was in Delhi when Vin ay Srivastava, described as his friend, was murdered at the house.
The pistol used by the accused to shoot Vinay is a licensed weapon owned by Vikas. His arms licence was valid only in Uttar Pradesh, so he did not take the pistol with him, Kaushal claimed. “On September 1, Vinay was killed at Vikas’s residence in which his licensed pistol was used. In this connection, a case has been registered against the licensee at Thakurganj police station under section 30 (punishment for contravention of licence or rule) of the Arms Act,” Deputy Commissioner of Police (Lucknow West) Rahul Raj said.
The victim had a single gunshot wound to his head, Raj said. The report for cancellation of the licence has been forwarded to officials, he said. SHO of Thakurganj police station Vikash Rai told PTI that “the pistol (used in crime) was manufactured in Kolkata”. (PTI)
