Chandigarh Police Register FIR Against Gangster Lucky Patial After Businessman's House Firing
Someone shot at a businessman's house in Chandigarh late at night.
The businessman, who owns a hotel, heard the noise but thought it was fireworks.
The next morning, he and his tenant found bullet holes in the house walls and his car.
The police are investigating and have filed a report against a gangster named Lucky Patial, who they believe is behind it.
They think the shooting happened because the businessman didn't answer a call from the gangster earlier.
A few hours after the shooting, the businessman got another call asking for a lot of money.
Police are using CCTV footage and tracing the calls to find the attackers.
An FIR has been registered against gangster Lucky Patial and others in connection with a shooting outside a Chandigarh businessman's house.
Two masked men on a motorcycle allegedly fired shots outside the residence of businessman Manpreet Singh Saini in Sector 38, Chandigarh.
Police suspect the shooting was retaliation for Saini not acknowledging a prior call from the alleged gangster, followed by an extortion demand of Rs 2 crore.
CCTV footage shows the assailants arriving, firing multiple rounds, and fleeing the scene around 12:08 AM.
The businessman discovered bullet damage to his house and vehicle the following morning; empty cartridges were recovered from the scene.
