In a shocking incident, a liquor businessman who was recently granted bail and came out of jail, was shot dead in broad daylight outside a dhaba in Murthal of Haryana's Sonepat on Sunday. The murder was captured on a CCTV camera nearby, reports NDTV.

Speaking to the media, Sonepat Deputy Commissioner of Police (DCP) Gaurav Rajpurohit identified the victim as Sunder Malik, 36, of Sargathal village, who, the DCP said, was living in Sonepat. The killing took place around 8:30 am when the victim was parking his car in a parking lot, he added.

“Seven teams have been formed to investigate the case and and the assailants will be arrested soon. We are contacting Malik's family to probe his criminal background. He was also facing cases of murder, attempt to murder, and other offences,” DCP Rajpurohit said, even as he dismissed speculations of a gang-war behind the killing.

The investigating officer said that further action will be taken on the basis of conversation with the family members.

No gangwar angle can be confirmed as yet, said cops.
