A man claiming to be a human right activist was shot at by two armed assailants but escaped unhurt near his house in north east Delhi's Yamuna Vihar today.
Chaudhary Jamshed Alam, who claimed to be an activist of International Human Rights Protection Council, said that he was waiting for his PSOs when two assailants riding a bike shot at him around 8.30 AM, police said.
