MUMBAI, July 26 -- A businessman narrowly escaped death after two unidentified men attacked him outside his factory in Vasai East on Saturday. Police said one of the assailants fired at him from point-blank range, but the bullet missed. The attacker allegedly tried to fire again, but the firearm malfunctioned, following which he struck the businessman on the head with the butt of the weapon before fleeing. The injured businessman, identified as Mohan Singh Parmar, owns a unit at Diamond Industrial Estate that manufactures aluminium foils used in the packaging of tablets and capsules. The attack took place as Parmar stepped out of his factory and was walking towards his car to leave for home. "One person called out to him by name. When Parmar turned towards him, the accused approached him and fired a shot from point-blank range," said Sanjay Shintre, deputy commissioner of police. "It is not yet clear how the bullet missed him despite being fired from such close range. When the assailant attempted to fire again, the firearm got locked," Shintre said. He added that the accused then assaulted Parmar with the butt of the weapon before fleeing on a two-wheeler with an accomplice who was waiting nearby. Parmar was rushed to a hospital in Nalasopara, where he is undergoing treatment for head injuries....
