The deceased has been identified as Hindu Suraksha Samiti leader Vipin Kumar. The gruesome murder that took place in a busy market in Bharat Nagar was captured in a CCTV camera installed in the vicinity.

Kumar along with another person were seen riding a bike, while two other people brandishing guns intercepted them. While Kumar fell on ground after being shot, another person who accompanied him fled from the spot.

Moments later, one of the two persons who had covered their face rained bullets on Kumar who had fallen on the ground. The accused fired five rounds on Kumar. Following the incident, the police have launched a manhunt to track down the accused.
