Kalpesh (35) and his wife Rasika (32), who allegedly fled after the firing, were arrested by Titwala police from the Nevali area in the early hours of Wednesday. He was also reportedly demanding Rs 70 lakh as his share from the proceeds of a family property recently sold by his father.
Police said Balaram is now out of danger, while his elder son Bharat, who has a bullet lodged in his abdomen, remains critical. Kalpesh, who lived separately with his wife and two children, had been embroiled in a property dispute with his father, according to senior police inspector Dhananjay Pore. The accused, Kalpesh Shelar, allegedly fired one round each at his father and brother. Kalpesh reportedly undertook small-scale construction work locally. He allegedly suspected that his father had given a larger share of the property to his elder brother Bharat. The accused couple allegedly fled in a car after the incident. They are being produced before a Kalyan court. Titwala police are conducting further investigations.
Following a search operation, police arrested both from Nevali on Wednesday morning.
