On Sunday, four or five assailants, who had come looking for a liquor contractor, had opened indiscriminate fire on his brother’s house in Sector 33. Today, another attack at a liquor vend in the posh Sector 9 market has left the UT police red-faced.

Despite stepped up police presence and patrolling in view of the lockdown, criminals are moving in the city without any fear, raising concerns over the safety of city residents.
