The man, whose first name is Hitesh, had six cartridges with him. His pistol was a in a car outside. It's not known yet if his gun was licensed.

The police is interrogating him. The chief minister holds a janta durbar every Monday with 800 and 2000 people attending it. There's usually careful frisking and security checks, but given the size of the crowd, the man managed to sneak in with his cartridges.
