Gurgaon Canteen Owner Shot Dead in Ambush
7 Jan
Summary
- Canteen owner Sanjay Sharma was shot dead outside his car in Gurgaon.
- A prior dispute at the canteen and refusal to share footage may be linked.
- The victim had reported being chased days before the fatal incident.
In Gurgaon's Sector 37-D, a shocking incident unfolded on Tuesday morning with the murder of 50-year-old canteen owner Sanjay Sharma. Sharma was discovered lifeless outside his vehicle near Rama Park, with autopsy reports confirming a fatal bullet wound. Authorities are investigating the possibility of a meticulously planned execution, especially after initial findings revealed no bullet casings at the scene.
The investigation is delving into a recent dispute at Sharma's canteen, where a clash between two groups occurred days before the shooting. His family reported that Sharma had refused to share CCTV footage of the incident with certain individuals, a refusal that may have escalated tensions. This motive is being rigorously examined by the police to understand the sequence of events leading to the tragedy.
Adding to the suspicion of a targeted attack, Sharma's family revealed he had been chased by unidentified persons on December 25th, and had subsequently informed the police. The circumstances suggest a possible reconnaissance before the fatal encounter. Sharma, who resided in Basai Enclave, left home earlier than usual on Tuesday, anticipating early customers due to a student examination. Tragically, his family received news of his discovery shortly after his departure, with the police subsequently registering a murder case against unknown assailants.
