Kotwali police station incharge Vikram Rajak, SDOP Parag Saini and FSL officers have taken cognisance and launched probe into the case.

Kotwali police station officials said that the man who was fired at has been identified as Shivam Tiwari, a Congress leader. Tiwari’s mother Vinita told police that she along with Shivam was travelling to the town at around 4 am on Sunday morning by car.
