The police have identified the three persons who were allegedly involved in the Monday’s shooting incident at a showroom here. Police sources said the accused had been identified on the basis of CCTV footage procured from various locations in the town. They said while two of the accused were from Sonepat district, the third one, who was driving the motorcycle, was from a village in Hisar district.

The Hisar police have formed five teams of the CIA to track these criminals, who fired about 30 bullets at the Mahindra showroom owned by INLD national vice-president Ram Bhagat Gupta in the auto market on Monday.
