An empty bullet shell was recovered from the spot, they said.

DGP ML Lather has constituted a special investigation team to investigate the incident happened on Tuesday night.

The team will investigate the matter under Special Operations Group (SOG) SP Manish Tripathi.

A case has been registered at Bayana Police Station against unknown people under various sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and sections of Arms Act, police said.
