In a bizarre turn of events, local authorities have solved a perplexing gun attack mystery in Vijayapura that ultimately led to the arrest of the very individual who filed the initial complaint. What appeared to be a targeted assault against a farmer has been exposed by police as a completely fabricated incident designed to settle old scores.
The saga began two weeks prior when Dayavant Dere, a resident of Ittangihal Doddi village, reported that he had been wounded by masked assailants while working in his agricultural field near Toravi on June 3. At the time, Dere alleged that two unidentified individuals approached him from behind and opened fire, striking his right arm. In his official complaint, he specifically named six different people as the perpetrators, claiming they were behind the violent act.
Investigation Exposes Staged Gun Attack
Following the complaint, the Vijayapura Rural police took the matter seriously and organized a specialized investigation team. The team was led by DySP T.S. Sulpi, along with inspector R.S. Janar and sub-inspector Vinod Dodamani. As the inquiry deepened, inconsistencies in the narrative became apparent to the investigators, leading them to shift their focus toward the complainant himself.
Vijayapura SP Laxman Nimbargi confirmed that on June 18, police apprehended two additional suspects linked to the case, identified as Anand (alias Anil Dere) and Kondiba Manavar. Upon interrogation, the pair admitted that the entire gun attack was a staged performance. The investigation revealed that Dayavant Dere harbored deep-seated personal animosity and ongoing disputes with the six individuals he had originally accused in his police report. Determined to implicate his rivals in a serious criminal case, he colluded with his two associates to manufacture evidence.
Authorities reconstructed the scene and determined that on June 3, the three men gathered at a field owned by Anand in Jalageri village. It was there that Anand reportedly fired a shot from a country-made pistol, intentionally striking Dere in the arm to create a non-fatal injury that would serve as proof of the supposed attack. After the self-inflicted shooting, Dere proceeded to establish a fake crime scene and officially filed a complaint accusing his enemies.
As a result of these findings, Dayavant Dere, Anand, and Kondiba Manavar have all been taken into custody. Police successfully recovered the country-made pistol believed to have been used in the orchestration of this crime. All three individuals have been remanded to judicial custody, where they now face legal consequences for their attempt to manipulate the justice system and maliciously implicate innocent citizens.
