The police are further analyzing the CCTV footage of the area to identify the assailants.
Meanwhile, no injuries were reported in the incident, informed the cops.
The police suspect that the assailants may have fired to create a sense of fear in the businessman’s mind before putting forth an extortion demand. The exact motive behind the firing can be ascertained only after the completion of the probe into the matter.
Earlier on Sunday, two businessmen complained of receiving threat calls from the gangs of Lawrence Bishnoi and Rohit Godara. They said the callers threatened to kill them if they did not pay them Rs 5 crore each.
