Hyderabad: Police has registered an attempt to murder case against Telugu film actor and the youngest son of former Chief Minister N T Rama Rao, Balakrishna, in connection with last night's shooting incident in which two persons, including film producer B Suresh, were grievously injured.

"We have booked a case of attempt to murder under Sections 307 IPC and 25 and 27 of Indian Arms Act on the basis of a complaint as well as evidences collected from the residence of the actor," Police Commissioner R P Singh told reporters today (June 4, 2004).

B Suresh and his friend Satyanarayan Choudhary suffered serious bullet injuries when Balakrishna allegedly opened fire following an argument last night.

"We have collected some evidence including empty bullets and blood-stained cloths from the residence of Balakrishna where the incident took place," Singh said.
