Ranjit was standing outside his house when he was attacked. The accused on a motorcycle came and shot at him thrice, they added.
One of the bullets hit him in the head killing him on the spot, the police said.
It is suspected that the killing is a fallout of a quarrel Ranjit had with some persons a couple of days back, they said.
Police have got some clues to the accused and are on the lookout for them.
