Haryana Police have arrested the assistant sub-inspector (ASI) of police who allegedly shot at a doctor at the Kalpana Chawla Government Medical College and Hospital in Karnal early on Wednesday after the doctor refused to give him a fake report.

The accused assistant sub-inspector, Kashmira Singh, was allegedly in an inebriated condition at the time of the incident.

Hospital CCTV clearly shows Singh opening fire from his service pistol at Dr. Nipun Kalra.Dr.

Kalra, however, escaped unhurt.

According to Dr.Kalra, a uniformed Singh wanted him to prepare a false medio-legal report to implicate someone.

The interaction is said to have taken place in Dr.Kalra's cabin at the trauma centre at 2.45 a.m.

Singh was accompanied by his son and wanted a false medical report for his relative which would help to nail someone in a case of attempt to murder.

When Dr. Kalra refused do so, an angry Kashmira Singh took out his service revolver and shot at him.

Dr.Kalra also alleged that the police failed to take immediate action on his complaint.

Later, Deputy Superintendent of Police Joginder Rathee arrived at the hospital and had Singh booked.

Dr.Kalra has been provided a police cover in the wake of the incident.
