Two people have been arrested for firing at the convoy of Asaduddin Owaisi, MP and chief of the All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM), while he was returning to Delhi yesterday after campaigning in Uttar Pradesh's Meerut.
According to police, they have said during questioning that they were hurt by Mr Owaisi's alleged "remarks against one particular religion".
Mr Owaisi last night tweeted visuals showing two bullet holes on his white SUV. The third bullet allegedly hit a tyre. The MP said he was unharmed and left the area in another car.
One of the accused is Sachin, a resident of Noida who has an earlier attempt to murder case against him. While he has claimed that he holds a law degree, police are verifying it. In his Facebook profile, Sachin says he is a member of a Hindu right-wing organisation, police said, adding that they are investigating the claim.
