Hyderabad: Some unknown miscreants have fired three to four rounds of bullets on the car of AIMIM Chief Asaduddin Owaisi while he was passing through the Dasna area in Uttar Pradesh.
However, he escaped unhurt in the incident. The incident took place near Chhajarsi toll plaza when Owaisi was leaving for Delhi after a poll event in Meerut.
Hapur police identified one suspect Sachin of Badlapur and he has been arrested, while another accused Shubham who had fled from the scene is still absconding. The CCTV footage at toll plaza and nearby areas are being verified for further evidence.
“Two men were involved in the firing incident. One has been taken into custody, and a weapon has been recovered. The police is looking for another absconding accused,” said Superintendent of Police, Deepak Bhuker.
“Police have informed me that weapons have been recovered and one shooter has been taken into custody,” Owaisi was quoted by news agency ANI as saying.
“I was leaving for Delhi after a poll event in Kithaur, Meerut (UP). 3-4 rounds of bullets were fired upon my vehicle by 2 people near Chhajarsi toll plaza; they were a total of 3-4 people. Tyres of my vehicle (in pic) punctured, I left on another vehicle,” said Owaisi.
Owaisi also took to Twitter to confirm the same and said that he has left from the spot in another car.
After the incident, sensation prevailed in the area and Asaduddin Owaisi left the place. A team of police reached the spot and an investigation is underway.
In September last year, the Hyderabad MP’s official residence in New Delhi was vandalised by the members of Hindu Sena. The Delhi Police had later arrested five members of the Hindu Sena.
