Ranchi: Armed men shot dead a land dealer on a busy road in Hinoo under Doranda police station in Ranchi around 11.30am on Wednesday.
The victim, Altaf Ansari (35), was sitting in a black car near the Pantaloons showroom in Hinoo when motorbike-borne men fired at him indiscriminately. Altaf was grievously injured after being hit by four bullets. The killers fled from the spot as people, hearing gunshots, ran for cover.
Local people later rushed the victim to Rajendra Institute of Medical Sciences but he died on the way.
One of Altaf’s friends, Md Jilani, said that the victim had informed the local police about a threat to his life but the cops did not pay any heed.
