A 42-year-old was allegedly robbed and shot dead by unknown assailants near his residence in north-west Delhi’s Ashok Vihar on Tuesday night. The incident was captured on a CCTV camera installed near the crime spot.
Sanjeev Kumar was returning home from Shastri Nagar around 8 p.m. when his scooty was intercepted by four men on two bikes. The accused allegedly put a gun to his head and asked him to part with the cash he allegedly had on his person. When he resisted, they fired at him and fled after grabbing the cash bag.
Locals rushed to the victim’s rescue and informed the police. He was taken to a nearby hospital, where he was declared brought dead.
“Prima facie, it was a robbery attempt and he was shot dead when he resisted,” said a senior officer.
