Delhi: A 52-year-old businessman, out on morning walk, was shot dead by a pair of assailants in east Delhi’s Shahdara on Saturday, police said.
“Sunil Jain, who ran a business of utensils, was returning home from his morning walk at the Yamuna Sports Complex when two bike-borne unidentified attackers opened fire at him in the Farsh Bazar area,” a senior police officer told PTI.
“The victim was shot multiple times. He was rushed to a hospital but succumbed to his injuries,” the officer added.
According to a report, Jain was on a scooter when he was targeted by the accused. The men fled after the attack and police have launched a manhunt to nab them.
Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convenor and ex-Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal, who has been criticising Union Home Minister Amit Shah over the Capital’s law and order situation, accused the latter of “ruining” the city.
