Jamshedpur, Jan 6: Police on Monday arrested two persons, including an employee of Hyva India Pvt Ltd for firing at the gate of the same company under RIT thana area in Adityapur on Saturday night.
Those arrested were identified as Sanjiv Kumar Jha and Sarbjit Sharma.
While arresting the two, the police recovered a country-made pistol and a motorcycle from their possession by raiding their houses in Adityapur.
Motive behind the firing
While Jha was a former security supervisor of Hyva India, Sharma was the area manager of the same company.

Incident details
RIT thana OC, Vinay Kumar, said as per their plan both Jha and Sharma arrived at the gate of Hyva India at about 8.00 pm on Saturday and asked the security guards at the company’s gate duty to open the gate.
“But when the guards refused to oblige, the duo first abused the guards profusely and subsequently one of them opened fire targeting the gate,” said the OC while talking to the newsmen today.
In this connection, the police had registered a case against both Jha and Sharma on the FIR lodged by Sanjay Kumar Gupta, manager, HR, Hyva India, leading the former to swing into action.
