Hyderabad, Oct 22 (IANS) A cow vigilante was injured in firing by an unidentified person in the Pocharam IT corridor on the outskirts of Hyderabad on Wednesday.
Sonu Singh alias Prashant was injured when a man allegedly fired at him.
The attacker allegedly chased the victim. The accused forced the car to stop near Yamanampally, where an argument broke out between the two.
The attacker allegedly opened fire, injuring Sonu Singh. The accused fled after the attack.
Police reached the spot and took the injured to the hospital. Rachakonda Police Commissioner Sudhir Babu visited the spot. He said that special teams have been formed to nab the accused.
Sonu Singh was undergoing treatment in a private hospital in Secunderabad.
Union Coal and Mines Minister G. Kishan Reddy, Telangana BJP president Ramachander Rao and MP Eatala Rajender visited the hospital.
He inquired from the doctors about his condition and the medical treatment being provided to him.
BJP leaders claimed that Sonu Singh was a cow vigilante who was shot by MIM leaders after he was stopped from taking away cows.
