Shots fired at Union Minister AH Khan Chowdhury in West Bengal

Malda: Union minister AH Khan Chowdhury was fired at while moving in an open jeep in the Malda district of Bengal today.

The Congressman, who is the junior minister for health at the Centre, is reported to be safe.

Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee's Trinamool Congress, however, says the minister was not fired upon. The party tweeted: "In their desperation, the Congress in West Bengal are using their fertile imagination to concoct an incident which did not take place."
