GHAZIABAD: A jewellery shop owner was murdered in the middle of a road on Monday evening, but the brazen killing by two men, who also fired in the air to intimidate, didn’t scare others into silence. Instead, virtually the entire colony around the crime spot got involved in chasing down the duo – some aiming stones at them from rooftops, others setting off in hot pursuit. One was captured immediately, the other on Tuesday morning. Both were charged under Section 302 (murder) of the IPC.
Sakinder Yadav (35) was tracked by his assailants as he closed his shop in the DLF area of Loni, got on his bike and started for home in Delhi’s Karawal Nagar, a short distance from there on the other side of the border. The spot where they attacked him is around 800 metres from his shop.
