Yesterday, Prajapati, an ayurvedic doctor, was shot twice by unidentified men outside his clinic here.
Though he sustained a bullet injury in the neck, he was now out of danger, doctors at Rajkot civil hospital said.

Rajkot police commissioner Mohan Jha has ordered a manhunt to nab the assailants.
Prajapati's wife, Sarojben, alleged that Asaram's henchmen were behind the attack, and appealed the Prime Minister-designate Narendra Modi to ensure action against him.
Prajapati was once Asaram's associate, but later he fell out with him.
