Talking to a local news agency, Ali said, “This is something I cannot forget. He was holding a gun on me, and two more on my head.”
Ali’s cousin Alauddin who witnessed the incident, told a local news agency “They pulled up next to my car, because when they made their first two rounds, they saw me sitting in the car with my lights on, so I was an easy target for them, but I hid in the backseat.”.
Ali’s wife wrote to the Minister of External Affairs Dr Subramanyam Jaishankar seeking best medical assistance for her husband in the USA and to make necessary arrangements for her to travel to the USA.
