Three shots were fired at Shivaranjan Bolannava as police suspect a long-standing property dispute to be the motive
Shivaranjan Bolannavar, a retired Kannada film actor, survived an murder attempt in Bailhongal on Tuesday night.
Two bike-riding assailants fired three rounds at the former actor from a distance, when he was speaking to some friends near the Hanuman temple. However, the shots missed and Shivaranjan escaped unhurt, according to some villagers.
The 50-year-old businessman has acted in several Kannada films. He was paired opposite actress Shruti in the film Amrita Sindhu. He also acted in Veerabhadra and other movies.
Police suspect a long-standing property dispute to be the cause for the offence.
Sanjeev Patil, SP, and other officers visited the spot at night. ``The victim was fired upon by bike borne persons, one of whom was his younger brother’s relative. As per eye witnesses, 3-4 rounds were fired. There were no injuries to anyone. Incident occurred between 7-45 pm to 8 pm. Teams are in place to trace the accused,’’ Dr Patil told journalists later.
