“There is a rumour going around about a firing targeting me. It’s completely false,” Sirsa said in a post on X.

The Delhi Police also issued a clarification, saying there was no firing incident targeting Sirsa.

According to the police, when Manjinder Singh Sirsa was taking rounds in the Khyala area in the forenoon hours, a metal piece, which looked like an empty cartridge from a distance, was found on the street.

However, on closer examination, it appeared to be a part of the sewing machine. The area was scanned by the cops. The angle of Sirsa being shot at has been ruled out, said an official.
