THANE: In the third firing incident in Thane district in 10 days, two men shot at and grievously injured a 38-year old homemaker after barging into her rented Bhiwandi residence on Tuesday. Police said the woman, Jayshree Dede, was alone at home at the time as her husband Shivraj (40) was at the transport company where he is employed. Her 17-year-old son was with a friend outside the building when the crime was committed.
The two accused entered the flat and following a scuffle with the woman shot at her.
Hearing the shots, her son rushed in but by then the accused had fled in an autorickshaw parked near the building.
One of the two bullets hit Dede in her head while the other misfired. Narpoli police said the crime took place at 10.30am on Tuesday in the Kalher locality of Bhiwandi. The woman has been admitted to S S Hospital where her condition is stable.
Police sources said multiple teams have been formed to find the culprits. Yogesh Chavan, deputy commissioner of police, Zone 2, Thane police, said, “The woman is stable now and her treatment is on. The reason behind the firing is not yet known and our teams are making inquiries from all angles.”
Three firing incidents in just 10 days which have left six injured have raised questions about police security in the Thane region.
On January 3, the first incident was reported in the same Bhiwandi locality, where two unidentified on a bike fired at a married couple who had filed their nomination for gram panchayat elections. The accused were arrested. Then, on January 10, four robbers opened fire at a jewellery shop in Ambernath and injured three.
