A car was fired at six times and set ablaze by a group of bike-borne miscreants outside a property dealer’s office in East Delhi’s Mayur Vihar area on Saturday, police said.
According to the officials, the miscreants allegedly set ablaze the car to threaten the property dealer, Sanjay Tosh, as he ran a betting racket and owed one of them Rs 30 lakh.
Officials said that eight men on motorcycles arrived in Trilokpuri around 4 pm today and ambushed Tosh. Then they fired at his car, which was unoccupied, broke its windows and set it on fire.
Tosh was not present in his office when the firing incident happened in Mayur Vihar’s Trilokpuri area, news agency PTI reported.
The police recovered six empty bullet shells and a note from the spot that mentioned the Tosh’s name. “Sanjay Tosh, either return my Rs 30 lakh or shut down the gambling business. Give me the money I won, or stop the gambling business at your house,” it read.
The note also had Tosh’s picture on it, the police told the news agency.
“A PCR call was received at 3.45 pm regarding a car being set on fire. A team reached the spot and found that a white car was set on fire and its glasses were broken. We also recovered six empty shells from the spot,” Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police (East) Vineet Kumar told the news agency.
