Miscreants open fire at house, boy suffers injury

Unidentified car-borne miscreants opened fire at a house in Lakhowal village on Saturday night. They shattered the main gate of the house with gunshots.

ACP, Industrial Area-A, said the incident occurred on Saturday night when the assailants came in a Maruti Swift car and rained bullets at the main gate of the house belonging to Satwant Singh. Occupants of the house remained inside during the incident. However, Satwant’s minor son Jobanpreet, who came behind the gate, suffered a minor injury on his leg as bullet brushed past a boy’s leg.

He said the house owner, a manager at a cold storage, and his family had no enmity with anyone. “The registration number of suspects’ car has been traced,” he said.

He said soon they would be arrested.
