Chandigarh: Three unidentified men opened fire outside a car dealership in Haryana's Hisar and demanded Rs 5 crore from its owner, police said on Monday.
A video of the incident that took place in the afternoon has surfaced on social media in which the trio, two of whom have their faces covered, are seen walking out of the showroom.
According to the police, the miscreants came on a motorcycle and entered the dealership in Hisar city. They left a note demanding Rs 5 crore from the owner and fired shots in the air outside the showroom before leaving, police said.
Hisar Police Inspector Risal Singh told on phone that unknown people are suspected to be part of some criminal gang.
He said the accused also asked the employees to ask the showroom owner to arrange money.
“The matter is being investigated,” he said.
In May 2023, police arrested three accused for allegedly demanding Rs 10 crore from the owner of a popular eatery in Hisar.
In that incident also, one of the accused had placed a paper on the counter demanding money and threatened the owner of dire consequences if the payment was not made within two days.
The accused fled from the spot and were later arrested from Rajasthan. Congress's Sirsa MP Kumari Selja targeted the ruling BJP over this incident.
Under the BJP government, criminals are fearless and the public is unsafe. Are these the 'good days' of BJP? Shailja posted in Hindi on X.
He said, "After the formation of the Congress government in the state, the law and order situation in Haryana will be improved and strict action will be taken against such criminals."
