Man shot dead in Noida

A 30-year-old man was shot dead in a village here, allegedly by two motorcycle-borne assailants Thursday, police said.

The incident took place in the afternoon at Rohallapur village in Sector 132, police said.

Pankaj, who hailed from Faizabad district, worked as an electrician for a private builder's group and the incident appears to be a case of personal enmity, a police official said.

"Pankaj was in the village when the two accused arrived there on a motorcycle, pumped a bullet into his body and fled," the official said.

The assailants have not been identified so far.

A case under Section 302 (murder) of the Indian Penal had been registered on the basis of a complaint by Pankaj's brother at the Expressway police station, the official said.

The body has been sent for autopsy and further probe was underway, police said.
