Two unidentified, bike-borne men shot a pharmacy firm employee and stole his motorbike near Kalkaji Mandir Flyover in southeast Delhi, police said Sunday.
The incident took place on Saturday when the victim was returning home on his motorcycle from his office in Noida. The victim took the Okhla route as he had to give a bag to one of his friends in the area, they added.
