A 33-year-old businessman who was also associated with a Hindu outfit was gunned down here by three bike-borne assailants, police said on Friday.
The incident occurred on Thursday night when Ranjeet was standing outside his residence in Seelampur in east Delhi.
"It appears to be a case of personal animosity. Three assailants on a bike stopped near Ranjeet and fired some half a dozen rounds. The assailants escaped after Ranjeet collapsed on the ground," a senior police officer said.
The police were examining CCTV cameras to identify the killers, the officer added.
Ranjeet was President of the Bajrang Seva Hindu Dal, police said. Along with his wife Sarita and other family members, he had lived in Seelampur for over 25 years.
