Journalists arriving at the gate of the palace at about 11:45 am, were caught in the fire but they escaped gunshots as they ducked in the drainage in front of the palace.

The gunmen parked their car in front of the palace, shooting sporadically and daring people inside the palace compound to come out and confront them.


However, the shooting did not stop the installation of the Mogajis and Baales.
