New Delhi: A 56-year-old businessman was gunned down by two bike-borne assailants at Farsh Bazar in east Delhi on Saturday morning.
The deceased was identified as Sunil Jain, who lived with his family in Krishna Nagar and ran a business selling utensils. He was returning home from a morning walk when he was shot dead. Jain was riding pillion on a scooter which his friend Sumit was riding. As they reached near the traffic light, two men on a bike approached them, shot Jain dead and fled the scene. Sumit escaped unhurt and was taken to the police station as he was the prime witness in the case.
While the circumstantial evidence points towards a targeted killing, a set of investigators believe that Jain may have been killed in a case of mistaken identity. Some witnesses claimed that the shooters fired over 12 times, while police said they found 7-8 empty cartridges, suggesting that 4-5 bullets may have hit the Jain.
