Owaisi says car fired upon in poll-bound UP

Ghaziabad, Feb 3: AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi on Thursday alleged his car was fired upon by unidentified men while he was returning to Delhi from Hapur district in poll-bound Uttar Pradesh.

Owaisi’s car was near the Chhijarsi toll plaza on the Hapur-Ghaziabad stretch of the National Highway 24 when the incident took place at around 6 pm, he said.

Some time ago my car was fired at near Chhijarsi toll gate. Four rounds of shots were fired. There were 3-4 people, all of them ran away and left the weapons there.

My car got punctured, but I shifted to another car and left. We are all safe. Alhamdu’lilah, Owaisi tweeted. PTI
