A 21-year-old wrestler, son of an IPS officer, was allegedly shot at and injured in Haryana’s Sonepat district, the police said on Sunday.
A probe has been launched into the November 28 incident after reports came in that some police officials, who were looking for a criminal, shot at Gurpal Singh in a case of mistaken identity. Gurpal, who is son of IPS officer Swaran Singh posted in chief minister Parkash Singh Badal’s security wing, was shot at on the Rai-Sonepat road, about 220 km from here.
He was travelling from Rai, where he has come to attend a sports camp, with his friend to a market, the victim’s cousin Randheer told PTI on phone on Sunday.
“We have registered a case under Section 307 IPC (attempt to murder). The investigations are being handled by Sonepat’s DSP (headquarters),” Rohtak range inspector general of police Alok Mittal said on Sunday. Reacting to media reports that Gurpal was shot at by police mistakenly, the IG said, “We are probing this angle too. All the facts relating to the case are being verified. We have already registered a case on the victim’s complaint. If he has to add anything more, we will bring that too on record and add the same to the FIR”.
