The head of a bank here was injured when an unidentified person fired at him at his apartment on Sunday, police said.
Manmath Dalai, Chief Executive Officer of KBS Local Area Bank, was shifted to a private hospital and he is said to be out of danger.
The incident occurred in Masab Tank in the heart of the city.
Police said a man came to the apartment inquiring about Dalai. He went to the official's flat and after a few minutes the guard heard the sound of gunfire.
