Fear gripped the residents of Nileri village near Devanahalli, as stray bullets from a practice firing range of the Police Training Centre, Avati, have been hitting vehicles passing by and on terraces of houses.
The villagers held a protest on Thursday saying they now live under constant fear and demanded immediate safety measures to ensure the bullets don’t stray.
Many of the vehicles parked outside the houses and walls and roofs of the houses have bullet marks, Srinivasa, a villager, said. He also handed over casings of several stray bullets that have hit houses nearby to a senior police official, who visited the village following the protest.
