Gurgaon: Police are probing an alleged gunshot attack by unidentified miscreants on Southern Peripheral Road (SPR) on Monday evening on a Thar.

Fazilpuria could not be contacted despite repeated attempts. The singer's police cover was recently withdrawn, the sources said. According to the sources, two gunshots were fired at the singer's Thar by unknown occupants travelling in another car behind it, while the Thar was heading towards Fazilpur Road around 6pm. The bullet was allegedly fired near CSD apartments in Sector 71.There was no official confirmation of the incident or whether Fazilpuria was in the car at the time. Police received the information around 6.10pm following which Badshapur cops reached the spot. In a press statement, police spokesperson Sandeep (ASI) said police received information regarding a bullet being fired in Sector 71. "We are yet to ascertain if the bullet was fired at anyone as no one got hurt and we are yet to find bullet shells. The investigation is on," Sandeep said.According to the sources, police are checking the CCTV footage at the spot to ascertain "if the firing happened or to identify the suspects". A police officer said all angles would be probed — after ensuring that a bullet was indeed fired — including the possibility of "old enmity".The singer is famous for songs such as ‘Kar gayi Chull', ‘Lalla Lohri' and ‘Chori Maar Dalegi'.
