Hyderabad: Youth Congress leader Vikram Goud who is undergoing treatment refused to divulge any information other than what his wife gave to the police earlier citing pain. Though Vikram claimed that he had received threat calls from some people he could not give any details about the suspects.
After analysing CCTV footages police concluded that there was no intrusion into his home. If the charges are not proven police would remove the attempt to murder section from the FIR. The firearm used was not found.
On Saturday when police arrived at the hospital to talk to him, Vikram told the police that he was shot at by unidentified assailants who entered his residence in the early hours of Friday.
Vikram said that he shouted and screamed out of confusion when he was shot by the men. Immediately, wife Shipali rushed to his rescue and called the 108 emergency service. She somehow ferried him across to hospital in her vehicle.
The driver and watchman also helped Shipali to take him to hospital, Vikram told the police. But police thinks that Vikram has not spoken the truth yet.
When police officials asked him questions about his statements he told them that he could no longer speak because of pain. He requested them to talk to him after a day and that he would give them details.
“He has not spoken the truth yet. He just repeated what his wife had said earlier. We need to get more details from him about the incidents to understand what actually happened,” said police commissioner M. Mahender Reddy.
Vikram, son of former Andhra Pradesh minister M. Mukesh Goud, was mysteriously shot at his residence in the wee hours of Friday at Banjara Hills.
Vikram suffered two bullet injuries on his right shoulder and stomach. But the police could not find any evidence of anyone breaking into the house.
All evidence found so far by West Zone police and CLUES team pointed towards self inflicted bullet injuries.
