Shootout near ISRO Bangalore centre

A shootout between two unidentified men and security guards took place near ISRO's Byalalu Centre in Bangalore on Tuesday morning. According to TV reports, two unidentified men moving in a suspicious manner near the ISRO Centre opened fire on the security guards on being interrogated by them. The guards retaliated by firing at the two men who managed to escape after they came under attack.

"Two people were seen moving in a suspicious manner outside our centre," ISRO spokesman S Satish told Reuters. "The police immediately challenged them, and they opened fire in retaliation. The shootout continued for some time before the two men fled." "The police are investigating. It is up to them to see whether it was a terror attack," he added. The home ministry sees ISRO buildings as a high priority target for terrorists, and has beefed up security around them after warnings of possible attacks.
