A 27-year-old BJP youth wing leader was today shot at and injured allegedly by Naxals at a temple in Chhattisgarh's Bijapur district, the police said.
Bijapur district BJYM president Murlikrishna Naidu was shot at by ultras in Bhairamgarh town at around 8 pm when he had gone to a temple.
Bijapur Superintendent of Police K L Dhruv said four rebels armed with country-made guns and sharp-edged weapons stormed the temple and attacked him.
"The ultras fired two bullets from behind which hit him in the shoulder and waist. They then tried to attack him with an axe but some persons present there came to his rescue," the SP said, adding the rebels then fled the spot.
Naidu was taken to a local hospital from where he was shifted to Jagdalpur district headquarters and was now being airlifted to Raipur for further treatment, Dhruv said.
