Delhi minister Sirsa refutes reports claiming he was fired at

Delhi Environment Minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa on Wednesday said that reports claiming that he was fired at were ''completely false''.

According to a social media post, Sirsa was fired at while he was on a round in west Delhi's Khyala and Vishnu Garden areas.

''There is a rumour going around about a firing targeting me. It's completely false,'' Sirsa said in a post on X.

Police said Sirsa was taking rounds in the Khyala area in the forenoon hours when a piece of metal, which looked like an empty cartridge from a distance, was found in a street.

''After closer examination, it appears to be a part of a sewing machine. However, it is being further examined. Police have scanned the area and any kind of incident has been ruled out,'' said a senior police officer.
