Pune Police Probe Bishnoi Gang Angle After Firing At Businessman’s Office In Fursungi
Pune, June 23, 2026: A businessman’s office in Pune’s Fursungi area came under attack late Monday night after unidentified assailants allegedly opened fire on the premises just hours after an extortion threat was reported. Police are investigating whether the incident has any links to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang.
According to police officials, businessman Amol Rajendra Chamaria, associated with H Vikas Pipes and Steel Pvt. Ltd., had approached the police earlier in the day after receiving an alleged extortion call.
Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) Gaurav Hasan said Chamaria received a phone call around 4:30 pm from an individual who identified himself as Arjun Bishnoi and allegedly demanded money. Following the call, Chamaria visited Wanawadi Police Station at approximately 7 pm to lodge a complaint and was subsequently directed to Fursungi Police Station for further legal action.
While the businessman was at the police station, unidentified attackers allegedly fired four rounds at the office of H Vikas Pipes and Steel Pvt. Ltd. in Mantarwadi, Fursungi, at around 8:10 pm.
Police immediately launched an investigation and registered a case at Fursungi Police Station. No injuries were reported in the incident, though the firing has raised concerns among local business owners.
Adding another dimension to the case, a social media post circulating online allegedly claimed responsibility for the attack in the name of the Bishnoi gang. The post reportedly stated that the firing was carried out at the office of Amol and Sunny Chamaria and warned of more severe consequences if future calls were ignored.
However, police have not yet verified the authenticity of the social media post and are treating the claim with caution. Investigators are currently examining whether the firing was actually orchestrated by individuals linked to the Bishnoi gang or whether the social media post was intended to mislead authorities.
Pune Police Commissioner Amitesh Kumar confirmed the firing incident and stated that a detailed investigation is underway.
Police teams are analysing CCTV footage, technical evidence, call records and digital material, including the alleged social media post, to identify the attackers and determine the motive behind the shooting.
The investigation remains ongoing, and officials have not ruled out any angle at this stage.
