An official of a private mobile company was seriously injured today after he was shot at by a man who was running the company's franchisee here, police said.
"The accused, identified as Govind, reached Ravi Apartment in Intex Technology's regional office located in Chandralok Colony here to discuss the issue of closure of his franchisee with the company's head Tahir Hussain Daar (34) and another official Ganesh Trisathkar," Additional SP, Ramji Shrivastava told reporters.
Govind was operating a franchisee of the company's mobile service centre, but was unable to run it properly, following which he was asked to stop, the Addl SP said.
"Since then he was angry with the company officials and today arrived in the office along with an associate to discuss the issue. When they did not respond to his plea, he shot at Tahir from close range," the officer said.
The bullet hit Tahir in the stomach and back. Govind also fired at another official, who had a narrow escape. The accused later fled from the spot.
The seriously injured official was admitted to a private hospital, police said, adding a case has been registered and search was on to nab the accused.
