The car driver was hit by a bullet in his finger after it pierced through the windowpane of his vehicle.

A case of firing and attempt to murder was registered at the CR Park police station against unknown persons, police said.

Deputy commissioner of police (south) Chandan Chowdhary said that on Thursday at 8:14pm, the police control room received a call regarding a firing incident at C-block in CR Park in which one person was injured.

A police team went there and learnt that two people named Sachin Gupta and Waseem Ahmed were travelling in a car.

“Gupta was driving the car and talking on the phone. All of a sudden there was a single round shot from the driver’s side. The bullet pierced through the driver’s side window and injured Gupta’s finger. Further enquiry revealed that two people with their faces covered were following the car on a bike. We are probing the case further,” added DCP Chowdhary.

Police are investigating the case and trying to ascertain if the case stemmed from personal enmity or business rivalry angles.
