Ludhiana: Extortionists open fire as trader refuses to pay up

LUDHIANA: A notorious criminal, along with his three aides, opened fire at a shopkeeper in Daba on Thursday night.
The accused were trying to extort money from Ranjodh Singh, a resident of Shimlapuri who runs an electronics shop in Daba.
Assistant commissioner of police (Industrial Area-B) Randhir Singh said, “Accused Aman Tattoo is a notorious criminal. He has over 10 cases against him. Aman, along with his aides, had gone to Ranjodh’s shop to extort money. When Ranjodh refused to pay up, they had an argument after which Aman opened fire at him. The bullet, however, missed its mark and hit a wall. The accused then escaped from the spot.”
Police have registered a case against Aman, of Shimlapuri, and his unidentified accomplices under Section 307 (attempt to murder) of the IPC and the Arms Act.
