Pump operator Robin revealed that four persons came on two motorcycles around 10pm and asked Sunil to hand over cash.
When the latter tried to run away, they fired two shots at him and decamped with the bag containing about ₹27,000, he claimed.
Hariana police inspected the site but got no clue as the petrol pump had no CCTV camera.
Neither the station house officer nor the deputy superintendent of police (rural) were available for comments.
