Four rounds of bullets fired at my car in UP, says AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi, one arrested
New Delhi/IBNS: AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi has alleged that shots were fired at his car when he was returning to Delhi after campaigning in poll-bound Uttar Pradesh's Meerut.
No one received any injury but his car tyres were punctured, he said.
"We are all safe. Alhamdu'lilah," he wrote on Twitter.
According to media reports, one person has been arrested in connection with the incident.
The incident took place at a toll plaza near Delhi in western Uttar Pradesh.
There were three-to-four shooters, who left their weapons and escaped, said the Hyderabad MP.
In a tweet, he wrote, "A few minutes ago, four rounds of shots were fired at my car. There were 3-4 people who fled the spot but left their weapons. My car's tires were punctured and I left the spot in another vehicle. We are all safe."
He also shared an image of the bullet-hit car in the tweet.
कुछ देर पहले छिजारसी टोल गेट पर मेरी गाड़ी पर गोलियाँ चलाई गयी। 4 राउंड फ़ायर हुए। 3-4 लोग थे, सब के सब भाग गए और हथियार वहीं छोड़ गए। मेरी गाड़ी पंक्चर हो गयी, लेकिन मैं दूसरी गाड़ी में बैठ कर वहाँ से निकल गया। हम सब महफ़ूज़ हैं। अलहमदु’लिलाह। pic.twitter.com/Q55qJbYRih
