"The police booked them for opening fire and injuring one Kuldeep Singh, but the medical report says that injury marks were of a sharp-edged weapon," said Dimpa, adding that he would file a written complaint with the Chief Election Commission, Delhi, on Monday.
Amritsar (Rural) SSP RS Khatra said a DSP-level officer was sent to the spot where the firing took place and on the basis of statements by the witnesses, the case was registered. "The two parties clashed over a land dispute and the accused opened fire, injuring one person. The FIR is registered and further investigation is on," said Khatra, adding that there was no political vendetta.
