MUMBAI, Nov. 19 (Xinhua) -- India's leading pharmaceutical company Aurobindo Pharma vice chairman was fired at by an unidentified assailant on Wednesday morning, but no one is injured.
The firing took place at the Banjara Hills area of Hyderabad where many rich businessmen and local politicians lived. An unidentified man shot about three rounds in the car of K Nityananda Reddy, director and vice chairman of Aurobindo Pharma.
The police said that Reddy, 56, had just finished his morning walk at the popular KBR Park and was about to get into his car at about 7 a.m., when a man rushed up, got into the rear seat of the car and began to fire.
The attacker reportedly panicked when Reddy's brother Prasad Reddy walked up to the other side of the car, and ran away, escaping on foot. He left behind an AK 47 gun and a bag, the police said.
There have been no arrests so far.
