New Delhi, Jul 2 (PTI) Delhi Environment Minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa on Wednesday said that reports claiming that he was fired at were 鈥渃ompletely false鈥.
According to a social media post, Sirsa was fired at while he was on a round in west Delhi鈥檚 Khyala and Vishnu Garden areas.
鈥淭here is a rumour going around about a firing targeting me. It鈥檚 completely false,鈥 Sirsa said in a post on X.
Police said Sirsa was taking rounds in the Khyala area in the forenoon hours when a piece of metal, which looked like an empty cartridge from a distance, was found in a street.
鈥淎fter closer examination, it appears to be a part of a sewing machine. However, it is being further examined. Police have scanned the area and any kind of incident has been ruled out,鈥 said a senior police officer. PTI SLB DIV DIV
