A 55-year-old man was shot dead allegedly by three motorcycle-borne men, one of whom is an accused in several cases of robbery and is out on bail, at Talwndi Bhangerian village in the district, police said today.

Sukhdev Singh was shot while he was sitting in front of his house last evening, police said.

A case has been registered against the miscreants who managed to escape, they said.

The case has been registered on the complaint of the deceased's wife Angrej Kaur.

She alleged that one of the accused was Kirpal Singh, their neighbour. Singh is facing about a dozen cases of robberies and is out on bail, police said.

Kaur told the police that Sukhdev was responsible for Kirpal's arrest in various cases and the killing could be part of revenge.
