A 52-year-old businessman Sunil Jain was shot dead in Shahdara, east Delhi, on Saturday morning. He was out on his morning walk when two gunmen approached him and started fire.
The tragedy occurred in the popular Geeta Colony neighborhood, causing shockwaves across the community. According to witnesses, the offenders approached on a motorbike and fired numerous close-range bullets at Jain before fleeing the area.

According to his family, Jain did not have any rivalry with anyone, the police added.
