Chandigarh: Famous Punjabi pop singer Parmish Verma was shot at by some unidentified persons in Mohali late on Friday night when he was on his way back home from a party.

The singer, who shot into fame with his song 'Gaal Nahi Kadni', was admitted to a private hospital in Mohali and he is now out of danger. He has suffered a knee injury while his friend was also injured in the attack.

"Some unidentified persons fired shots at Parmish last night at Sector 91 in Mohali when he was returning home. A bullet hit his leg," Mohali Senior Superintendent of Police Kuldeep Chahal told news agency PTI.
