The incident unfolded in clear daylight as a group of men surrounded the car and opened fire.
As per the police, the victim was a gangster involved in at least 13 heinous crimes including murder and robbery.
“The driver of the car managed to escape unhurt but Virender, who was in the passenger’s seat, was seriously injured. The murder could be a fall-out of an old rivalry or personal enmity. We have formed teams to identify the attackers,” said a senior police officer.
