Panic ensued in Khoda, Ghaziabad, on Saturday as unknown assailants allegedly opened fire at a local builder. The victim has been identified as Sitaram, also known as Pal Builder, who reportedly escaped the incident without any injuries. The attack took place while Sitaram was present in his office, highlighting the seriousness of the situation.

According to reports from law enforcement and local witnesses, two individuals on a blue scooter approached Sitaram’s office. Eyewitnesses noted that as they neared, one of the assailants produced a firearm and fired shots, narrowly missing Sitaram by approximately one foot. This close call allowed Sitaram to avoid harm and he reportedly remained unharmed in the chaotic scene that unfolded.

The assailants were quick to leave the area following the shooting, escaping before local residents could react to the sound of gunfire. This rapid departure raised concerns about the growing issue of violence in the region, prompting further attention from law enforcement agencies.

CCTV Footage Discloses Details of Attack

Surveillance footage of the incident has emerged, providing crucial information about the attackers and the sequence of events. The video reportedly shows the two suspects arriving and pausing at a distance from Sitaram’s office. As they waited, one individual was observed retrieving a weapon, before initiating the gunfire.

As the situation unfolded, local residents gathered around the office, drawn by the sound of the shots. Eyewitness accounts suggest that the number plate of the scooter used by the gunmen was obscured by mud, complicating efforts to identify the vehicle. Both suspects were described as wearing helmets, which further concealed their identities, making the investigation more challenging for police officials.
