Two arrested over shooting at Iranian lawmaker’s car, prosecutor says
Two people have been arrested in connection with a shooting at the car of Iranian lawmaker Abbas Bigdeli, a provincial prosecutor said on Friday.
Ali Asghar Asgari, prosecutor of Qazvin, said the two suspects were detained over the use of a hunting weapon against Bigdeli’s vehicle. A judicial case has been opened against them, he added.
Asgari said the incident did not have a “terrorist” nature.
On Thursday evening, Salar Abnoush, head of the Qazvin provincial assembly of lawmakers, said the personal vehicle of Bigdeli, who represents Takestan in parliament, was hit by pellet gun fire. He said the lawmaker was unharmed.
