Mike Aldren wrote (On January 24, 2011): Great Khali and his entourage were involved in a shooting incident over the weekend, according to India's 24-hour news channel, Aaj Tak. The shooting took place late Friday night in the city of Ludhiana near the home of Indian politician Sat Pal Gosain. Khali had just visited with Gosain and was leaving the area when his vehicle was stopped by a large crowd of fans who had gathered outside the politicians home. Eyewitnesses told Aaj Tak that one man from Khali's security assignment became hostile and fired several shots into the air in an effort to disperse the crowd surrounding the vehicle. Local authorities are now investigating the matter but at press time no charges have been filed. "The fans became restless in a bid to click photographs of Khali," police inspector Surinder Mohan said. "In the melee, some unidentified person fired in the air. Splinters of the bullet hit two people, one sustained a shoulder injury while the other sustained minor bruises." It was later reported that two men were treated at a local hospital for minor injuries. Khali in a statement to TMZ said he had left the scene when the shooting took place. "I am deeply saddened to hear of this incident and am disappointed it has been incorrectly reported that I was involved", he said. "I had left my friend's house a half an hour before the reported shooting took place and did not have any bodyguards with me. My thoughts and prayers go out to the people who were injured."
