The police reached the spot and rushed Prem Pal (55) from Chandausi to the district hospital from where he was referred to a hospital in Moradabad, the police officer said.

According to the Gunawat, Lal, a worker of the BJP's local unit, has injury marks on his shoulder because of the bullet shot from behind.

Based on Lal's complaint against three persons -- Dilip, Shyam Lal and Hemant -- an FIR has been registered and the accused have been taken into custody, the SP said.

They are being interrogated, the police officer said, adding that prima facie the incident appears to be a fall out of a land dispute.
