3 miscreants open fire at car occupants

Three armed persons riding a motorcycle opened fire on a car in which three persons of Tarn Taran were sitting near the local bus stand on Friday night. However, the car occupants managed to escape unhurt.

The car was being driven by Bhardev while his younger brother Rohit Kumar and Dinesh Kumar were accompanying him. They were returning to their homes in Tarn Taran from Jalandhar after playing cricket at about 11.30 pm.

They were chased by the motorcycle-borne miscreants, one of whom fired at them. But they managed to escape from the spot. The incident was reported to the city police in the morning.

ASI Kulbir Singh said a case under Sections 125 and 3 (5) of the BNS and Sections 25, 27, 54 and 59 of the Arms Act has been registered by the city police.
