The fast bowler was unhurt and the shooter hastily fled the scene when a crowd began to gather.

In the initial probe, the suspect corroborated the sequence of events.
The DIG East also said that the main suspect who opened fire has been identified, but refused to reveal his identity.
Wasim Akram, who is currently supervising a 13-day trial camp for talented pacers, will reportedly continue with his assignment.
