Firing during employees rally in MP: 6 injured

Bhopal, Aug 29: At least six people were injured, one of them seriously, when a private gunman fired shots as state government employees were staging a rally near the state secretariat here this afternoon.

Employees owing allegiance to Madhya Pradesh Class Three Government Employees Association President Ravindra Kalasia took out the rally after the Gwalior bench of the High Court issued an order in their ''favour''.

The gunman, who was engaged by Kalasia, fired indiscriminately in jubilation, police said, adding Kalasia had been detained.
