The victim, identified as Ghanshyam Singh, was on his way to his agriculture field yesterday when the accused - Bhoop Singh, Yogesh, Ravi and Raghuraj - shot him, they said, adding that Ghanshyam died on the spot.
Old enmity and dispute over land is stated to be the motive behind the murder, they said.
While the family members and locals alleged that they had approached Jaithera police four days ago when Ghanshyam was beaten up by the accused, but no action was taken against them.
