Thane:
A 34-year-old man was injured after he accidentally fired from a revolver while trying to threaten a woman singer working at a bar in Navi Mumbai, police said on Wednesday.
The man, who worked as a fabricator in Badlapur area of Maharashtra’s Thane district, was in love with the 23-year-old woman since the last two years.
