“We were sitting at the shop. They (the goons) came and laid their gun on the table before me. They were drunk. They asked me for money. I instantly handed over the days’ collection to them. They took the money and then fired at us,” narrated Suraj.
According to eye-witnesses, Entajul had come to Suraj to photocopy a few documents and the incident took place shortly thereafter. On the basis of a written complaint last night, police registered a case under sections 341, 301, 326 of Indian Penal Code and sections 25 and 27 of Arms Act.
