NEW DELHI, Feb. 12 (Xinhua) -- At least one person was killed and another received gun shots when unidentified assailants opened firing at the convoy of a newly-elected Delhi lawmaker, a local cop confirmed on Wednesday.
The shooting incident occurred late Tuesday night in south Delhi's Kishangarh area.
Naresh Yadav, the lawmaker who was returning from a temple along with his supporters after registering a spectacular victory in the just-concluded state polls, said one of his supporters died and another one with gunshot injuries was admitted to a hospital.
The lawmaker belonging to the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), or Common Man Party, had a narrow escape as he too was in the same car which was attacked by the assailants. This was his second consecutive victory in Delhi polls.
