The accused admitted that he had used the bullet to reach the spot of incident. He had chosen the time of the incident when people were performing puja in temples or homes. The sound of the bullet should be drowned by the loud sound of the temple bells.
He told the police that he was so angry that he kept firing at whoever came in front of him. He has fired a total of ten bullets. Seven bullets have been recovered from the bodies of the deceased. He also shot himself with a bullet, but it missed, after which he lost the courage. He ran away after the incident.
