Two men with surgical masks covering their faces opened fire at a doctor near Sath Mile Cross on the outskirts of Raichur on Thursday.
According to Superintendent of Police B. Nikhil, Jaya Prakash Patil Bettadur, a gynaecologist, was the target.
But, he luckily escaped as the first bullet fired at him hit the bonnet of his car in which he was travelling from Raichur to Manvi and the second misfired.
