Two unidentified assailants today fired shots at the ground where Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh Shakha assembly was planned to be held but there were no casualties as the venue was vacant, at new Kidwai Nagar Park, police said.
The incident took place today when two motorcycle-borne persons fired shots at the Shakha ground ahead of the assembly sangh sanyamsevaks, they said.
The eyewitnesses said that sound of two gun shots were heard.
Police said that the unidentified miscreants were wearing monkey caps and hence could not be identified.
DCP Narinder Bhargva said that the police party rushed to the spot after receiving the information. No one was injured in the firing as assembly of sangh sanyamsewaks was yet to start, the DCP said.
