A tourist was detained on Saturday after he allegedly opened fire in the air when his car was stopped from passing through the VIP lane at a toll plaza on the Shimla-Kalka national highway. No casualty was reported, the police said.
The incident took place at the Sanwara toll barrier, a few kilometres from Dharampur, in Himachal Pradesh’s Solan district. Confirming the incident, Solan SP Gaurav Singh said the tourist has been detained.
Employees of the toll plaza told the police that the tourist had an argument with them and demanded a discount after his car was stopped from passing through the VIP lane. He then opened fire in the air, the police said.
CCTV footage has been found showing the tourist roaming around with a gun and efforts are underway to obtain more video clips of the incident, the SP said.
