“The other culprits will most probably be nabbed shortly,” he said.
Advocate Asha Rani Sharma was yesterday stabbed and shot at allegedly by seven persons inside court premises in Sadar Bazar area here.

The culprits first attacked her with knives and then shot at her, they said, adding that she did not receive any bullet injury but received stab wounds.
She was rushed to a nearby private hospital and then to Metro Hospital, Faridabad.
The victim's son Pawan had lodged a complaint against seven persons. Three police teams were formed to nab the culprits.

Meanwhile, Sharma's condition was stated by doctors at Metro Hospital, Faridabad, to be stable.
“The condition of injured Asha Rani Sharma is stationery,” Dr Brij Gopal Sharma stated this evening. PTI
