Nagendar Kumar, a resident of P block of Mangolpuri, had come out of his house for a walk around 12:30am. “When returning home, two men on a bike stopped him. One of them got down and pumped bullets into his chest at point blank range,” a senior police officer said. Police said the assailants fired at least five-six rounds.

Kumar was immediately rushed to a nearby hospital, where he was declared brought dead. “His family informed us about the previous incident. On that basis, we have detained a few persons,” the officer added.

Police said a few months ago, he had been shot at by miscreants due to personal rivalry.
