In the meantime, the local residents rushed both Sajjad and Ramdev to Tata Main Hospital, where Sajjad who was a land broker was declared as brought dead. Ramdev succumbed to his injury late in the evening.
Land broker had a criminal record
According to police, the shooting was suspected to have been conspired by the notorious Chowda Raju gang of Mango and rivalry in land brokery was the reason behind the gun-shot attack.
