CCTV footage showed a scooterist looking back, noticing two youths walking behind him, one of whom was visibly carrying a firearm. One of them got into a heated argument with the other two, when the armed man fired a bullet, which missed and hit the wall of a mobile shop.

In retaliation, the youth, who was the target of the shot, picked up a brick and hurled it towards the armed man, who escaped with the scooterist.

“I was just sitting near the shop when the gun went off. The bullet hit a wall near me,” said an eyewitness, shaken by the incident. “They looked like locals, but I’ve never seen them before,” he added.

No injuries were reported and authorities have yet to confirm the identities of the individuals involved. Police are examining CCTV footage and taking eyewitness accounts as part of their investigation before lodging an FIR.
