Gangster shot dead in broad daylight in Jammu
A 37-year-old man affiliated with a criminal gang was shot dead by three members of a rival group here on Tuesday afternoon, officials said.
A critically injured Sumit Jandiyal was taken to Government Medical College hospital, where doctors declared him dead on arrival, police said, adding that the assailants took a two-wheeler at gunpoint and fled.
Jandiyal alias Gataru is reported to be the kingpin of the Gataru gang.
Additional Director General of Police Anand Jain said, "It is a gang war. He (Jandiyal) belonged to the Gataru gang of Vijaypur. Members of a rival gang fired on him. It is not a terrorist incident, but a case of rivalry."
Police have launched an operation to track down the attackers.
