New Delhi : One person was injured in firing just outside Prime Minister Manmohan Singh’s official residence at 7, Race Course Road here.
The firing occurred outside the Jaipur Polo Grounds across the road from the prime minister’s residence, police said.
“It was apparently a property dispute between two factions. A rival gang, was trailing the victim, and fired at him,” a senior police official said. The injured, identified as Kishori Lal, has been taken to Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital.
The entire, high-security area surrounding the prime minister’s residence has been cordoned off as a precautionary measure.
“We will have to assess whether to seal off certain sections of the road to the general public following the incident,” an official said.
