Aditya Sachdeva, a businessman’s son who had recently given his Class 12 exams, was in his Swift car with his friends when he overtook the Range Rover belonging to the family of Manorama Devi. Rocky was travelling in the SUV with a security guard who has said that the bullet that hit Aditya was fired from the personal revolver of the politician’s son.Aditya’s friend, who was with him in the car has told the police that Rocky and the guard started firing in the air to stop them soon after they overtook the SUV.
“When we stopped, they forced us to get out of the car and then punched us. When we tried to leave the place, someone fired from behind the car and a bullet hit my friend,” he said and added that other than the guard, a person sitting in the front seat of the car also had a gun in his hand.
While Police is on the hunt for Rocky, they have arrested Ms Devi’s husband Bindeshwari Prasad Yadav alias Bindi Yadav for helping him escape and also the guard.

Mr Yadav has alleged that his son was beaten up by Aditya and his friend who were drunk. However, he admitted that Rocky carried a licensed revolver with him. “It must have happened in the fight while he was trying to defend himself,” he said.
