GURGAON: Two men fired indiscriminately outside a liquor outlet in Manesar on Friday night, killing a customer standing near the counter and injuring two others.CCTV footage being widely circulated on social media showed the two men – both dressed in white T-shirts and blue denims – firing in the air outside Discovery Wine Shop in Pachgaon. Before whipping the gun out, one of them purportedly has an argument with the salesperson.Police are probing if the two who opened fire are members of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang after a co-owner of the liquor outlet alleged that he had been getting threat calls for the past one week.A preliminary probe suggested that the two gunmen wanted to create “an atmosphere of terror” by firing in the air, police said. One of the bullets, according to the cops, ricocheted off the wall and hit Sandeep Kumar, a resident of UP’s Saharanpur, in the chest.Sandeep died by the time he was taken to hospital. Two others who were standing metres away – Devraj Sharma and Rajender Prasad Chaturvedi – had a narrow escape after stray bullets scraped past their arms. The two are undergoing treatment at a private health facility in Sector 87.Police initiated a probe after Kuldeep, one of the two owners of the liquor store, lodged a complaint, alleging threat calls from unknown numbers around a week earlier.”They were foreign numbers. The callers would ask me to surrender the liquor store licence or face consequences. My brother, too, got similar calls. We ignored the matter initially, thinking someone was joking with us,” he told the police.Kuldeep was sitting in his office behind the liquor store when he heard around 13-14 gunshots.”I ran out to see what had happened. I saw two men pointing guns at customers and passersby. When they fled on a bike, I went near the counter and saw a man lying face down and oozing blood. There were two others who had suffered bullet wounds. We informed the police and took them to a hospital. But one of them was declared dead on arrival,” he added.Police teams have been formed to trace the accused.
