Former Congress MLA from Bilaspur, Bamber Thakur, was shot at by unidentified assailants at his residence on Friday, police said. Thakur and his personal security officer (PSO) sustained injuries in the attack, following which they were rushed to hospitals for treatment.
According to police, the attackers fired nearly 12 rounds of bullets. Thakur was immediately referred to Indira Gandhi Medical College in Shimla, while his PSO was taken to AIIMS Bilaspur, officials said, as per news agency PTI.
This is not the first attack on the Congress leader. In February 2024, Thakur was assaulted in Jabali after an argument with some individuals inside a railway line construction office. He had sustained serious injuries in that incident, and police had rounded up several suspects for questioning at the time.
Police have registered a case and launched a probe into the matter. Further details are awaited.
