After an elderly businessman was shot dead here on Wednesday night and with no major breakthrough in the case, police on Thursday said efforts were on to nab the killers and ascertain motive behind this killing.
Fuel pump owner Mohan Singh (80) was shot dead in the posh area of the Holy City here on Wednesday night. Mohan owned two fuel stations— one at the Gumtala Bypass and one at the Rattan Singh Chowk.
Mohan was on his way from Rattan Singh Chowk to his house at around 10 pm when the attack took place. As soon he reached outside his residence, assailants, whose number is said to be three, fired a volley of bullets. One of the bullets hit Mohan’s leg and he died while being rushed to a hospital.
