The accused was presented before the court and subsequently remanded in judicial custody.
The altercation arose between a car driver and a motorbike rider over a collision involving the two vehicles. It is alleged that the bike rider, in a fit of anger, struck the car. A case was registered at the Urva Police Station in connection with this incident.
Puneet Shetty, concerning this matter, contacted the ASI of Urwa police station, urging the arrest of the bike rider in question.

The purported conversation spanned approximately 8 minutes.
A case has been filed at Urva Police Station against the accused, charging him with obstructing police duties and making threats over the phone.
Accused Puneet Shetty has faced multiple cases registered across various police stations, including Barke, Pandeshwar, Port, Urva, and Kankanadi Nagar. A criminal record has also been established due to his history of unlawful activities.
Given Puneet Shetty's criminal background, coupled with his possession of a licensed pistol, Inspector Bharti of Urva station has submitted a report to higher authorities requesting the annulment of the accused's pistol license.
Reports suggest that Puneet Shetty, once associated with the labor unit of the Congress, was suspended on account of violating party discipline.

Trump says he ‘hasn’t even thought about’ continuing Iran ceasefire
Washington: US President Donald Trump has said he has not yet considered whether he would continue the ceasefire involving Iran, while also claiming the United States holds the advantage in negotiations.
Speaking to reporters, Trump said he was prepared to make a deal with “whoever is running the show” in Iran.
“They are fighting with each other, there’s tremendous infighting. They’re probably fighting for leadership in many cases. I think they’re fighting not to be leader because we knocked out two levels of leaders,” he said.
Trump added, “When they want they can call me. We have all the cards, we’ve won everything.”
Referring to ongoing negotiations, he said, “They gave us a paper that should’ve been better. And, interestingly, immediately when I cancelled it [envoy trip to Pakistan], within 10 minutes we got a new paper that was much better.”
“We talked about they will not have a nuclear weapon, very simple … They offered a lot, but not enough,” he added.
When asked whether he would continue the ceasefire, Trump replied, “I haven’t even thought about it.”
The remarks come as uncertainty remains over the future of the temporary truce and broader negotiations between Washington and Tehran.
