Ramanagara: Ricky Rai, son of late underworld don N Muthappa Rai, was allegedly shot at by unidentified assailants near his residence in Bidadi under the Ramanagara district of Karnataka on Friday night, police said on Saturday.

Ricky, a real estate entrepreneur, returned from Russia two days ago. He was on his way to Bengaluru in his car when he was shot around 11:30 pm on Friday, sustaining bullet wounds in his nose and arms. He was rushed to Manipal Hospital on HAL Road in Bengaluru, police said. The assailants opened fire through a large hole in a compound on a private plot next to the road, police added. Ricky was in the rear seat with his bodyguard. As the bullets were fired, Basavaraj, the driver of the car, leaned forward to escape getting shot.
