<p>The police said the purported video, posted on the social media on the intervening night of Saturday and Sunday showed the accused &#8212; Sumit Tanwar &#8212; firing shots in the air.</p>
<p>Deputy Commissioner of Police (Outer) Parvinder Singh said, &#8220;Taking cognizance of a video on social media, a case under section 336 (act endangering life or personal safety of others) of the Indian Penal Code has been registered at Paschim Vihar East police station.&#8221;</p>
<p>During enquiry, the rooftop in the video was identified. On August 4, Tanwar, a resident of Guru Harkishan Nagar here, was celebrating his friend&#8217;s birthday at the house at Pushkar Enclave in Paschim Vihar, which is owned by another of his friend, Abhijeet Adana, the officer said.</p>
<p>In the purported video, Tanwar was seen firing a few rounds in the air from a firearm, he said.</p>
<p>&#8220;The revolver used in the firing belongs to Tanwar&#8217;s friend Adana, which is being verified. The two accused are being questioned for recovery of firearm,&#8221; Singh said.</p>
<p>Police said Tanwar&#8217;s father owns a factory of leather products in Jaipur and the accused is looking after the office in Delhi, while Abhijeet Adana is into the property dealing business.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Gadchiroli police held an encounter which led to the death of 13 naxals. Among these naxals, 8 were women cadere. The day when the state Home Minister was visiting the district, the encounter took place.</p>
<p>Gadchiroli Police said on Wednesday that they had received information about the naxals. They had gathered in the Paidi forest area in Etapalli tehsil for extortion. Therefore, a team of C-60 commandos, a special combat force of the district police, went to the area. The  encounter took place between 6 am to 7.30 am. About 60-70 naxals started to fire on C-60 commandos and kept on firing instead of the appeal to surrender.</p>
<p>After the Naxals vanished into the forest, the bodies of six male and female cadres were found However, some more naxals would urely be injured, they managed to escape. Police also retrieved AK-47 rifle, an SLR, a carbine, a .303 rifle and explosives. The &#8220;encounter&#8221; was a tribute to the 15 policemen killed in an ambush in the district in 2019, said Police Superintendent Ankit Goyal.</p>
