Liquor vend owner shot, friend injured in Haryana's Pataudi

GURUGRAM: Twelve people have been booked for allegedly killing a liquor vend owner and injuring his friend in Pataudi’s Jatauli village on Thursday night.
The criminals indiscriminately fired on the two men and 17 bullets hit the liquor vend owner — Inderjeet— while his friend —Vikram— was hit by three bullets.
Inderjeet’s relative Jai Baghwan is an eyewitness in the case. He told police that he was taking a walk outside his house along with his cousin Ishwar when Inderjeet, Vishal and Vikram were returning home in a Swift car with cash. Just before reaching the house, Inderjeet stopped the car as a few cows were blocking their way. “As Inderjeet got out to clear the way, six people on three two-wheelers —Abhishek, Harender, Rohit, Sagar, Akhil and Krishan surrounded the car. Abhishek and Harender pulled out guns and started firing indiscriminately,” Jai said.
Once the criminals left, Jai rushed to the spot and found Inderjeet and Vikram in a pool of blood. Vishal had managed to escape. Inderjeet and Vikram were taken to a nearby hospital where Inderjeet was declared dead while Vikram was referred to a hospital in Gurugram.
According to Inderjeet’s family, Abhishek and others had attacked the duo a year-and-half back and Inderjeet had been receiving threat calls for the last one month. An FIR has been registered at Pataudi police station under relevant IPC sections against the 12 people named in the complaint.
