According to reports received here at the State headquarters, at least six persons received minor injuries in the shooting incident. They were rushed to hospital where they were stated to be out of danger.
Accused arrested
Senior district officials rushed to the spot along with police reinforcements. The accused, identified as Ajit, was arrested and the weapon was allegedly recovered from him.
