A farmer was wounded by a bullet which is believed to have been fired by the Maharashtra State Reserve Police Force (SRPF) during exercises conducted here.
The bullet was detected 21 days after the incident.
It was on July 19, that farmer Bhikku Hasan Dargawale (30) was grazing his cattle at the SRPF grounds, when he received a shot in his backside which began bleeding.
Initially, he thought that some animal's horn might have hit his backside.
A few days after Bhikku was given first aid at a hospital, his backside began paining excruciatingly.
After sonography, his doctor was astonished to see a foreign object lodged in his backside.
Later, Bhikku was rushed to the Government Medical College and Hospital in Aurangabad, where doctors treated him.
However, the bullet was not removed from the farmer's body, since doing so might paralyse the lower part of his body and even endanger his life.
Bhikku believes that the bullet must have pierced him at the SRPF ground where shooting exercises was occurred.
Meanwhile, after a complaint was lodged with senior SRPF officials, they assured the farmer that the matter would be investigated.
