Nagpur: A shocking incident unfolded in Kandri, Kanhan, Nagpur Rural, leaving a 60-year-old woman, Shobha Tiwari, injured after she attempted to shield a family friend from harm. The incident occurred amid a confrontation between Shobha’s son, Sunil, and Ankush Kesarwani over an unsettled debt, culminating in gunfire and Shobha sustaining a bullet wound to her left hand.
The altercation erupted when Sunil and Kesarwani engaged in a heated dispute over a loan Sunil had borrowed from Kesarwani in 2018. Despite conflicting claims regarding the repayment amount, tensions escalated as Sunil brandished a Mauser revolver during the confrontation. In an attempt to protect Kesarwani, Shobha intervened, leading to the inadvertent firing of the weapon, resulting in her sustaining a bullet injury.
The relationship between the Tiwari family and Kesarwani had soured over monetary disputes, highlighting underlying tensions that had simmered between the erstwhile family friends. Sunil, who secured employment at Western Coalfields Limited following his father’s demise, found himself embroiled in a bitter disagreement with Kesarwani over the repayment of a loan, exacerbating existing rifts.
Sunil’s actions have led to serious legal repercussions, as he stands accused of attempted murder and violating the Arms Act. His decision to resort to violence in settling the financial dispute underscores the severity of the situation and the potential consequences of such actions.
Shobha Tiwari is currently undergoing treatment at a hospital in Kamptee as she recuperates from her injuries sustained during the altercation. The incident has not only left physical scars but has also cast a shadow over the community, serving as a grim reminder of the dangers posed by escalating conflicts and resorting to violence to resolve disputes.
The unfortunate incident in Kandri serves as a sobering reminder of the fragility of human relationships and the grave consequences of allowing disputes to escalate unchecked. As Shobha Tiwari battles to recover from her injuries, it is imperative for authorities to ensure that justice is served and that measures are taken to prevent similar incidents from occurring in the future. Moreover, the incident underscores the importance of fostering dialogue and mediation to resolve conflicts peacefully, thereby safeguarding the well-being of communities and individuals alike.
