“They rang the doorbell, enquired if it was my house and opened fire soon after my wife affirmed it was. My wife managed to lock the door somehow and saved our lives. They had fired five shots. Even in the past, I have received threat calls from international numbers and cases were also registered in this regard at the Shahzadpur police station, but no action was taken,” he alleged in his complaint.
