Four persons have been shot at by rival gang members in two separate incidents in Malda district, police said today.
Eight anti-social elements came on motorbikes last evening and attacked one Moloy Sarkar with sharp weapons who was sitting with his nephew on a bridge at Sattari area of Englishbazar.
When his nephew tried to resist them, they hurled bombs and shot at them, injuring the duo.
