Two people were on Tuesday morning involved in a shootout with Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) security personnel around its high-security facility at Bylalu near Bangalore.
The two men, who were roaming around the area, opened fire at the security personnel on being questioned forcing the security forces to return fire.
"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.
