On Thursday, Karnataka police created two special squads to apprehend a criminal who opened fire in a movie theatre while watching the blockbuster ‘KGF: Chapter 2’, seriously hurting a 27-year-old teenager in the Haveri district.
Vasanth Kumar Shivapura, a Mugali village native, was critically hurt in the incident on Tuesday and was sent to KIMS Hospital in Hubballi for treatment. He’d been admitted to the intensive care unit, and his condition is considered to be critical. The film’s showings have been cancelled as a result of the event.
According to police, Vasanth Kumar had come to watch ‘KGF Chapter 2’ with his four friends. He was hit by two bullets in the abdomen and thigh. The miscreant had fired three bullets from a revolver. The quarrel started over the matter of the accused putting his leg on the seat of the victim.
When he questioned him on this when the movie was on, a verbal duel broke out between them and the miscreant who had also come with his friends took out his revolver and shot the victim. The audience were shellshocked by the incident and had run out of the theatre fearing for their lives.

Vikram Desai, the owner of Rajashree theatre explained that he had seen audience quarrelling for chewing gutka, smoking cigarettes inside theatre and people also have quarrelled in an inebriated state, but he said “I have not seen those who came for entertainment indulging in acts such as shootout.”
Hanumantaraya, SP of Haveri district explained that the miscreant is 25 to 30 years of age. He had shot one bullet upwards and two on the victim. The teams are gathering inputs and will secure the accused and his associates soon. Further investigation is on.
The film stars Yash, Sanjay Dutt, and Raveena Tandon among others.
