A 24-year-old man was shot dead by two unidentified assailants inside his shop in South West Delhi's Palam Extension area here this morning, police said.
The deceased, Abhinav Verma had reached his car accessory shop at Palam Extension around 10 AM when two bike-borne assailants arrived on the spot, fired shots at him from close range and fled, they said.
"Verma was alone in the shop when the incident took place. He was rushed to Bhagat Chandra Hospital where he was declared brought dead," a police official said.
