Gunmen open fire at sonepat liquor trader's house after threat call
Rohtak, June 12 -- A 28-year-old liquor businessman from Gumad village in Sonepat district narrowly escaped a bid on his life after assailants opened fire at his house on Wednesday night, following a threatening phone call. The attack, which police suspect is linked to a long-standing rivalry, left window panes shattered and damaged a parked car.
According to the complaint lodged by Kunal, who operates liquor vends in the Samalkha area, he received an abusive phone call around 11 pm on June 10. The caller, identified as Mohit, a resident of the same village, allegedly threatened him before arriving at his house with several accomplices in a white Baleno car. Kunal alleged that he also had an altercation with Mohit three weeks ago.
Kunal told police he was in a terrace room with his father, elder brother, and cousin when he came under attack. One of the men fired a pistol directly at him. The bullet shattered the window glass, but Kunal escaped unhurt by ducking. Kunal claimed the attack stems from a year-old dispute over a soil-trading transaction involving a local contractor. Police have registered a case against accused Mohit, Manoj, Ravi, Kala and other accused under sections 109(1), 190, 191(3) and 351(3) of the BNS and sections 25, 27, 54 and 59 of the Arms Act. htc...
