On February 16, constable Sanjay Badgujar gunned down two persons -- murder accused Mahesh Desai and his advocate Harish Chaudhary -- in the district and sessions court. While personal rivalry was stated to have been the cause for the act, the police attribute Tuesday's incident to Jetsinh Parmar's ``loss of mental balance''.

When police officials were asked why they had continued with Parmar when he had been suspended twice and was known to be whimsical and temperamental, DCP D M Naik said, ``No one ever knew he would do such a thing.''
