A cashier in Chandigarh's Sector 11 was fatally shot by two armed assailants on Saturday afternoon. The victim, identified as 45-year-old Janki Das, was struck by thirteen shots fired rapidly from a sophisticated pistol. The brazen attack occurred in a busy market area, with customers present nearby.
The perpetrators, who wore masks and caps, entered the shop, waited briefly, and then carried out the shooting before fleeing on a waiting motorcycle. This marks the second public killing in Chandigarh in three months, prompting an investigation by local authorities.
Police are examining CCTV footage and have recovered the stolen motorcycle used in the getaway. While a Facebook post claimed responsibility, sources suggest it may be fabricated. The motive for the killing is currently under investigation, with avenues like personal enmity being explored.
