"We won't consider this as an attack as the shot was not aimed at him. No one has seen attacker. A case filed under the Arms Act and the ashram security will be stepped up," DGP Ajai Kumar Singh said.
The DGP also disclosed that the police had identified the weapon used. It was a .32 calibre gun and the bullet was fired from 700 feet or beyond.
