He was entering the shop when two unidentified men arrived on a motorcycle and shot him from a close range. The bullet hit Aggarwal near the chest and he collapsed at the shop while the attackers sped off.

“The shopkeeper informed the police control room about the crime. Aggarwal was rushed to Maharaja Agrasen Hospit-al where doctors pronounced him dead on admission,” said the officer adding a case of murder was registered and investigations were taken up.

In another murder case, a 23-year-old woman was murdered allegedly by her inebriated husband following an argument over not giving him money to buy liquor. The husband, identified as Pradeep, fled the house leaving his wife bleed to death, said police.
