The businessman, identified as Rahul Aggarwal, was a supplier of grocery items to shopkeepers in Nihal Vihar area, had gone to collect money from a grocer at Nilothi Mor.
"Two unidentified men arrived on a motorbike and shot him. The bullet hit Aggarwal near the chest and he collapsed while the assailants fled," said a senior police official.
