Gurmeet saw Didar watching a cricket match being played on a ground created at a brick kiln. He returned a while later and opened fire at Didar. The crime took place due to old rivalry between the duo, said the DSP.

Gurmeet fled from the spot after firing and switched off his phone. A case of attempt to murder has been registered. Doon MLA Ramkumar Chawdhary said Didar Singh was a booth agent of the Congress.

He rued that despite telling the SP Baddi on several occasions about presence of illegal arms in the area, his complaints have been ignored.
