Gajraj Singh was returning home from his office at South Avenue. The attack took place Monday-Tuesday night at 12.15 a.m. When he was passing through Neb Sarai here. However, the LJP leader escaped unhurt.
“Gajraj Singh, a resident of Khanpur village, claims he has been fighting against unauthorised construction in his neighbourhood and alleges the attack may have been carried out by local builders,” a police officer told IANS.
As Gajraj’s driver was forced to stop the car, the unidentified assailants opened fire and fled from the spot.
