It was found that the three men, including the deceased, Rohit, had a gun, and Manav also had a pistol. Rohit and his accomplices initially intercepted Manav, who escaped. Rohit and his two aides parked their scooter near a car and hid behind it, waiting for Manav to pass by. CCTV cameras captured Manav stopping his scooter a few steps away and walking up to the car with a pistol in hand. As soon as Manav came near the car, Rohit jumped before him with a gun but Manav shot him in the chest at point blank range before he could do anything. Thereafter, he fled," said the official.
