Haider sustained bullet injuries in his right thigh and was rushed to a nearby hospital, from where he was discharged after treatment.

Police said the car belonged to Vivek Travels and was given on lease to A. K. Manocha, managing director of the Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC).
