AN alleged cattle smuggler was seriously injured and one of his accomplices escaped unhurt when a hardened goon fired three gun shots at him after a group clash between them near Ashok Samrat Chowk at Uppalwadi in Kapil Nagar area on early Friday morning. Injured Amjad Shaikh Shabbir Shaikh was rushed to Hope Hospital, Kamptee Road, Teka Naka. Cops nabbed one of the accused Shaikh Shadab Shaikh Gulab (27), a resident of Ansar Nagar, Mominpura, in this connection. Other accused Sohail Bawla and four others are at large. Shaikh Imran alias Sonu Abdul Sattar Shaikh (23), a cattle supplier, was known to cow smuggler Shaikh Shadab. Shaikh Imran’s another friend Sonu alias Vira was arrested by Nagpur (Rural) Police in a cattling smuggling case on March 10. When Shaikh Shadab came to know that Shaikh Imran had gone to meet Sonu, he threatened him of dire consequences.
 
Around 5.30 am on Friday, Shaikh Imran, his friends Amjad Shaikh Shabbir Shaikh, Wasim Naseem Khan and Aaran Mukhtar Shaikh had gone to Mominpura for Ramzan. From there, they went to Mohammad Ali Petrol Pump, Kamptee Road, for refuelling their two-wheelers. Near the petrol pump on Kamptee Road, they spotted a group transporting cows in a Toyota Innova SUV. Shaikh Imran and his friends chased the SUV. The Toyota Innova stopped at Samrat Ashok Chowk, Uppalwadi. Accused Shaikh Shadab, who was in the SUV with his accomplices, fired three shots at Shaikh Imran from his revolver but he somehow escaped unhurt and tried to run away. Shaikh Shadab Sohail Bawla and four others got down from the SUV and attacked Amjad Shaikh with swords, sticks and butt of a revolver injuring him seriously.
 
The assailants then fled the spot in the same vehicle. After some time, Shaikh Imran returned to the spot and found Amjad Shaikh lying in a pool of blood. He immediately called the police. Cops rushed to the spot and took Amjad Shaikh to the hospital. Later, Kapil Nagar Police nabbed Shaikh Shadab and registered a case of attempt-to-murder under Sections 307, 34 of the Indian Penal Code, read with Section 3/25 of the Indian Arms Act, against him and his accomplices. Special police teams have launched a manhunt for the other assailants.
