According to police, Singh informed that he along with his three-four friends was sitting in front of the shop of his property dealer friend Jagdeep Singh when ASI's son Sonu Pehlwan along with his 30 accomplices arrived there in 5-6 vehicles and allegedly opened fire.
They were also carrying sharp edged weapons when they attacked them, police said quoting Singh.
They also said that glasses of property dealer's shop were damaged and the bullet hit the vehicles parked near the shop due to firing.
Supinder said he had no enmity with Pehlwan or others and feigned ignorance about the reason of the assault.
