Ghaziabad:
A grocery store owner was shot dead by three bicycle attackers on Thursday, police said.
The incident took place around 12:30 p.m. Jitendra (46) was shot by the three people while he was heading to Loni town from his Agroula village on his motorcycle, they said.
Jitendra, who runs a grocery shop in his village, was shot six times and died on the spot, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Rural) Vivek Chand Yadav said.
Police said at first glance it appeared to be a matter of old enmity.
In September 2021, the victim’s cousin Dinesh was also shot dead and Jitendra pursued his case in court, they said, adding that Jitendra was carrying his unlicensed pistol at the time of the attack.
Police identified the attackers through CCTV footage from the cameras installed in the area and three suspects have been detained for questioning. The body has been sent for post-mortem, they said.
