GURUGRAM: A special police officer was shot at by a local businessman in IMT Manesar Sector 1 around 10.30 pm on Saturday. Praveen Kumar (38) had gone out to buy medicines when the attack took place, police said.
Kumar, a native of Rewari, has been living in Manesar for a while now. He had joined the Gurugram police after retiring from the Army. He was deployed at the MG Road police post.
“My friend and I had gone to the market, in my car, to get a medicine.
On our way back, Devendra Yadav blocked our way with his car. He was drunk and was hurling abuses at us. As I got out of my car to talk to him, he pulled out a pistol and fired at me,” Kumar said in his complaint.
Kumar luckily escaped the shots, but things turned grim as Yadav called up his associates and asked them to join there. “All these men then beat me up with sticks,” said Kumar. He added that Yadav also fired at another car that was passing through the road.
Some passersby made a PCR call and a police team was rushed to the spot. Kumar was then taken to a nearby hospital for treatment.
During questioning, Yadav allegedly told police that he mistook Kumar for another person who had attacked Yadav a few days ago. “An FIR has been registered against Yadav and 4 others at the Manesar police station,” an officer said.
