A Congress leader here was injured when unidentified assailants opened fire at him here Thursday, police said.
The incident took place around 7.30 p.m in the city's Shastri Nagar area.

The three assailants, who came on a motorcycle, fled from the spot after pumping three bullets into his chest, police said.
