Two men on a motorcycle shot at car of K Srinivasa, head of city's Agricultural Committee.
Bengaluru has been placed on red alert after shots were fired at a car on the outskirts of the city this morning in which two people were injured.
Two men on a pulsar motorcycle shot at the car of K Srinivasa, who heads one of the city's Agricultural Produce Market Committees (APMC). The shooting took place when Mr Srinivasa's Honda City slowed down at a traffic light.
APMCs are established by the state government to assist farmers in selling their produce, mainly through an auction, to ensure they get the best prices.
Mr Srinivasa, who had been arrested in 2013 and released on bail, is facing a series of criminal charges including murder. He and his driver were rushed to hospital.
