The incident of firing at a shopkeeper has created a scare in the Patel Nagar locality of the town. The incident occurred in the Patel Nagar market last night after which the shopkeepers have demanded security and the arrest of the accused. The shopkeepers have threatened to down their shutters from tomorrow if the police failed to arrest the accused.
Mayor Gautam Sardana reached the locality today and assured that that the police had started investigation and the accused would be behind bars soon. He said he would ask the district police to enhance security in the markets.
A showroom owner, Sumit Kumar, complained to the police that two motorcycle-borne youths opened fire on him on Monday night, though he escaped unhurt.
The PLA police chowki in-charge, Ramesh Kumar, informed that two accused were also seen in a CCTV footage of the market. He said an attempt to murder case was registered by the police.
The shopkeepers kept their shops closed today in protest against the incident. Haryana Vyapar Mandal president Bajrang Dass Garg said the incident revealed that the law and order condition in the town was getting from bad to worse.
