Shahrukh Khan may be rejoicing in the bumper opening KANK has received the world over. He may be disconcerted by rumours surrounding his alleged rift with Karan Johar. But what took him totally by surprise was a shootout that took place right outside his bungalow ‘Mannat’ in Bandra, Mumbai this Monday. In a dramatic incident, a security guard Yatendra Singh Chauhan shot another security guard Chandra Pratap Singh, who died while on his way to hospital.

Police said that the shooting took place after an altercation between the two, and raises serious questions about private security agencies operating in the city. Additional Commissiosner of Police (West) is bewildered as to how can a reputed security agency like ‘Tops’ recruit a man who had landed in Mumbai merely fifteen days ago and was not mentally stable. According to the senior police official, the security guard could very well have trained his gun at the actor himself.

Shahrukh was present at his home at the time of the incident and fully cooperated with the Police.
