An Indian man has been seriously injured after unidentified motorcycle-borne gunmen shot at him in Philippines, a media report said today.
Amandeep Kour Singh, 28, was shot in the head by unknown gunmen, while he was collecting money he lent out to a store owner in Zamboanga city in southern Philippines, Mindanao Examiner reported.
A medical response team took Singh to the hospital, police said, adding a bullet casing of a .45-caliber pistol was recovered from the scene.
The motive of the attack is still unknown, but Singh was the second Indian shot in two weeks in Zamboanga, notorious for its unabated gun attacks blamed on hired killers.
Motorcycle gunmen also shot Sukhjinder Singh, 28, while he was driving his motorcycle in the village of Putik on May 8. He was rushed to hospital, but died during an operation from wounds in the head and body, the report said.
Singh, who was also engaged in money lending, had come from his cousin's house and was heading home, when the attack occurred.
