As per the security personnel at the victim’s residence, three unidentified individuals forcibly entered the villa and promptly confronted the security guard on duty. Despite the guard’s attempts to prevent their entry, he was coerced into allowing them access when faced with threats.

Shortly after that, a gunshot was heard, and the third assailant quickly fled the scene. The police promptly initiated an investigation into the case and discovered three intact 7.62 calibre projectiles along with two spent bullet casings.
