LUCKNOW: A cousin of BJP MP from Sambhal, Satya Pal Singh Saini, was shot at by unidentified assailants outside his shop in Moradabad on Friday evening. The 32-year-old victim was shot thrice and doctors found a bullet lodged in his stomach. His condition was stated to be stable.
The incident took place around 6pm when Jai Prakash reached his shop in Pakhwara market. He had barely got off his car when two people on a bike stopped near him and entered into a heated argument with him.
Things took an ugly turn when the two sides entered into a scuffle and the men opened fire.
"They fired three shots. Two bullets grazed his legs and the third hit him in the stomach. The criminals fled before locals rushed to rescue and informed police," said SP City (Moradabad) Ankit Mittal.
Police said a case of attempted murder was lodged by victim's brother, Rohit, at the Pakhwara police station against two unidentified assailants. Police were probing a recent incident in which Jai Prakash had reportedly entered into an argument with a local politician and cops suspect this could have been the trigger. There were reports Jai Prakash was on his way to his shop after meeting the inspector in charge of the local police station when the incident took place. The condition of Jai Prakash, who's undergoing treatment at a private hospital in Moradabad, was stated to be stable and doctors were yet to perform a surgery and remove the bullet from his stomach.
