A security guard deployed at the residence of Haryana Chief Minister Manohar lal Khattar was injured in an accidental firing on Monday morning.
"Parminder Singh, a police Commando, sustained injury after a bullet went off accidentally when his service pistol was being cleaned," said Neeraj Sarna, Station House Officer (SHO), Sector 3 here.
He said the bullet hit the ground and the pellets hit the right leg of Parminder Singh, who was then taken to Government Multi-Speciality Hospital, Sector 16 for treatment.
All the Commandos deposit their weapons outside the Chief Minister's residence where these are checked, Sarna said, adding the bullet could have been left behind in the pistol inadvertently.
