Hyderabad: Youth Congress leader Vikram Goud on Saturday gave his statement to the police who are investigating into the mysterious firing incident that occurred at Vikram's residence here in the city.

He told the police that he was shot at by unidentified assailants who entered his residence in the early hours of Friday. Vikram Goud said that he shouted and screamed out of confusion when he was shot at by the men. Immediately, wife Shipali rushed to his rescue and rang up 108 emergency service.
