The bullet was fired at around 11.10 pm on Sunday night.

It the time of the incident, the Punjab cadre IAS officer was in his bedroom, but he escaped unhurt, a police official said.

The wooden frame of a window of the bureaucrat's Sector 24 residence took the bullet's impact.

"The bullet was fired by some unknown person. The IAS officer has also said that he has no enmity with anyone.
