Police Constable Charged After Sons Fire Licensed Pistol

Pune Rural Police have filed charges against constable Ramesh Kekan and his two sons after a three-year-old video surfaced showing one son firing a licensed revolver into the air, an act that endangers public safety. The incident, which occurred in 2021 in Kalas village, was recorded by his older brother and later uploaded to social media, reigniting interest after it went viral. The police, led by Assistant Inspector Vikram Salunkhe, have charged them under several sections of the Indian Penal Code and the Arms Act for violating firearm regulations. Although the video was deleted, it was traced back to the family, prompting legal action. The constable's decision to allow his inexperienced son to handle the weapon has raised serious concerns about firearm safety and responsibility among law enforcement families.
