Let us tell you that firing was done on Bamber Thakur between 2 and 2.30 pm on Holi. Four people are visible in the CCTV. But two people did the firing. Due to this, Bamber Thakur and his PSO were shot, while a supporter got hit by a shrapnel on his leg. The condition of all three is out of danger.
