On Monday late night, one more complaint was lodged with the Ramol Police Station against a person for bursting firecrackers during non-permissible hours in the Ramol area of the city.
The accused has been identified as Jeetu Panchal, 27, a resident of Vastral area.

He was arrested immediately. Later on Tuesday morning, he was released on bail.
This is the third case which was lodged by city police, for violating notification of police commissioner over the bursting of firecrackers.
