PUNE: A
56-year-old builder was shot dead by two unidentified men outside his residence
in Deccan Gymkhana area in Pune, police said today. The assailants fired five
rounds at Devendra Shah in front of his son on the plush Prabhat Road last
night. Two of the bullets allegedly hit Shah, an officer said.
Police have recovered the CCTV camera footage of the area in
which the two assailants are visible. They came near the building in which Shah
stayed in Lane No. 7 on Prabhat Road and started arguing with a man who runs a
laundry business there.
"One of the assailants asked the laundry man to summon
Shah. The shop owner then called the builder down," Additional
Commissioner of Police (South/North region) Ravindra Sengaonkar said. As soon
as Shah came down with his son, the assailants fired at the builder, he said.
"Two bullets hit Shah. The assailants then fled the
spot," said Sengaonkar. The builder was rushed to a nearby private
hospital where he died during treatment. The officer added that the assailants
had not covered their faces. Shah's son told the police his father did not have
enmity with anyone, Sengaonkar said. The motive behind the killing was yet to
be ascertained, he said. The Deccan Gymkhana police registered a case of murder
and investigations are on.
