“The firing was done to intimidate him and prevent him from testifying. The police are now investigating the case on the basis of the CCTV footage of the suspects, which was handed over to the police as evidence,” the complainant said.

It is clearly visible in the footage that three youths riding a bike come outside the house and fired a shot at the door while leaving the scene.

The victim said the suspects were residents of Jawahar Nagar Camp and the Sham Nagar area, who had been identified from the footage. The police assured the victim that the case would be investigated impartially.

Now, raids were being conducted to nab them. The victim’s family had also demanded security till the time the suspects were arrested and the real motive of the attack was known.
