Gurugram:A 28-year-old woman was allegedly shot at in the head from a close range and critically injured by three unidentified motorcycle-borne assailants while she was travelling in a sport utility vehicle along with her friend who escaped unhurt, police said on Wednesday.
The woman was admitted in the ICU of a private hospital here whereas the three accused are yet to be arrested, police added.
Police said victim Pooja Sharma was driving along with her friend Sagar Manchanda (29) from Ram Nagar in Haridwar district when the crime allegedly took place on the Southern Peripheral Road near Sector 65 around 11.15 pm on Tuesday.

When they returned to his residence in Sector 40 and were about 50 metres away on the Extension Road around 11.15 pm, the complainant said, three persons with masked faces and riding a bike forced them to stop.
"They approached the SUV, and pointed pistols at us and asked us to lower the SUV windowpanes. When we did not comply, they fired at us. While I escaped, Pooja, who was driving, was hit in the head from close range, after which the accused fled," he claimed.
