A security guard deputed at a jewellery store in Indore was arrested after he allegedly shot and injured his colleague after the latter photographed him while sleeping on duty.
According to a PTI report, 56-year-old Pramod Pandey was arrested for the firing at the jewellery store in the Bhanwarkuan area of the city.
Deputy commissioner of police (DCP) Anand Yadav said Pandey was sleeping while on duty outside the shop on Saturday night when the store's salesman, Sanjay Jagtap (49), photographed him and posted the image on a WhatsApp group for employees.
"Angered by this, the accused had a heated argument with Jagtap on Sunday night and shot him with his licensed 12 bore gun. The victim sustained injuries on his hand and other body parts due to the bullet fragments," the senior police officer was quoted by PTI as saying.
