Gurpal Singh, son of a Punjab SP, also claimed that the police arrived at the hospital and admitted that the shooters were policemen. "It is shocking to know that the police open fired. Without any warning we were shot at and most of the shots were aimed at my neck and head region," said Gurpal.
Gurpal claimed that he was travelling with his friends in a car when they were stopped by two armed men who fired at them when they tried to flee from the scene.
