Uttar Pradesh: All India Majlis-E-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) chief Asaduddin Owaisi has alleged that shots were fired at his car when he was returning to Delhi after campaigning in Uttar Pradesh’s Meerut, reports said on Thursday.

No one was injured but his car tyres were punctured, he said. “We are all safe. Alhamdu’lilah,” he wrote on social media.

The incident took place at a toll plaza near Delhi, in Hapur in western Uttar Pradesh. The shooters left their weapons and escaped, said the Hyderabad MP.

“I was leaving for Delhi after a poll event in Kithaur, Meerut. Three to four rounds of bullets were fired upon my vehicle by two people near Chhajarsi toll plaza; there were a total of 3-4 people,” Owaisi said.

“Tyres of my vehicle (in pic) punctured, I left on another vehicle,” he wrote.

The AIMIM politician had addressed a public meeting in Meerut while campaigning for the Uttar Pradesh election starting February 10.

Western Uttar Pradesh will vote on the opening day of the seven-phase election in India’s most politically vital and populous state.
