A homoeopathic clinic owner in Jalandhar was left shocked after discovering a bullet mark on his clinic shutter and shattered glass panes on Monday morning. The police have launched a probe into the incident.
Incident Details
The incident occurred at a clinic on the Salempur–Verka Milk Plant road. When the owner returned to open the clinic on Monday morning, he found a bullet hole in the iron shutter. Upon opening it, he noticed that the glass display pane inside was completely shattered, with cracks radiating from what appeared to be a corresponding bullet impact point. The bullet shell was found inside the clinic when it was opened.
Police Response
A complaint was immediately lodged with the Jalandhar police and a probe has begun. Police station in-charge Yadvinder Singh said since the clinic owner didn't receive any calls, prima facie, it appears to be a case of stray or accidental firing, possibly by miscreants or someone under the influence of liquor. A detailed probe is under way.
Owner's Reaction
Incidentally, the clinic owner said he was perplexed by the incident as he neither had feud, nor received any threats from any unscrupulous elements.
