Fired employee fires at head of HR in India

    A sacked employee in India opened fire on his former company’s head of human resources.

    The attack took place in Gurugram as the HR manager was heading to work for Japanese car company Mitsubishi.

    Two assailants approached him on a motorbike and the pillion passenger fired a gun at the victim, who suffered two gunshot wounds.

    A police official said a search is underway to find the suspects.

    Reports say the shooter had been fired by the victim due to “unprofessional behaviour”.
