shot dead at his residence in Berhampur town by a group of the unknown miscreants, police said today.
The deceased was identified as B Rameya, a trader, police said adding that the victim was living at Shanti Nagar area under Badabazar police station limits with his family since five years.
The miscreants shot at him as soon as he opened the door after hearing a knock, police said.
His wife and children were asleep inside the house when the incident took place. The man was declared brought dead by the doctors when he was taken into the MKCG Medical College here after the incident.
Police was, however, clueless about the miscreants and the reason behind the brutal incident.
"The family members are also unable to point finger at any one. We will interrogate them further," said SP (Berhampur) Prateek Mohanty.
"We are investigating from various angles and hoping the accused will be nabbed very soon soon," he said.
