"Mohammad Ali used to run a timber shop. Today in the afternoon hours two bike-borne assailants reached there and fired indiscriminately. Six bullets pierced his body," Assistant Superintendent of Police Anoop Singh said.
The neighbours immediately rushed him to a nearby hospital where doctors declared him dead on arrival.
As news spread in the area, the villagers gathered at Karan Gate police station out post and staged a protest.
Later, the police officials pacified the crowd and assured that the culprits will be caught as soon as possible.
