Lucknow: Unidentified assailants shot at Bhim Army co-founder and president Chandrashekhar Azad in UP’s Saharanpur district on Wednesday evening.
Azad, who was rushed to a local hospital, suffered bullet injury but it’s not too serious.
As per initial reports, two bullets were fired at the Bhim Army chief’s car, one of which grazed Azad.
“I don’t remember well but my people identified them… Their car went towards Saharanpur… We took a U-turn. Five of us, including my younger brother, were in the car when the incident took place,” Azad said in a statement to the police.
Azad had gone to attend a ‘terhvi’ ritual – the final day of mourning after death — at a supporter’s house. His car was attacked after he left the venue in his SUV.
“Half an hour back, the convoy of Chandrashekhar Azad was fired at by a few car-borne armed men. A bullet brushed past him. He is alright and has been taken to CHC for medical treatment. Police is investigating the matter,” Saharanpur SSP Dr Vipin Tada said.
