Businessman shot at in Bangalore, escapes unhurt

Bangalore: A businessman was shot at by some unidentified persons at a busy junction in the Basavanagudi area on Tuesday, but escaped unhurt.

Dayanand Pai, a trustee of BMS educational trust, was returning home in a car after attending a meeting of BMS Engineering College, when some persons opened fire at the vehicle and fled the spot immediately, police said.

Both Pai and his driver escaped unhurt, they said. Police suspect it to be a fallout of a land dispute.

Meanwhile, one Hebbet Manja told a regional television channel that he was responsible for the attack, as Pai had refused his demand to give him a piece of land in the city.
