MP: property dealer shot dead

Five men allegedly shot a property dealer with whom they worked, killing him on the spot, in Sanver tehsil.

The assailants, who worked with Kamal Patel (45), asked him to come out of his house at Tarara village last night and shot him from a close range with a locally-made gun, sub-divisional officer of police R K Singh said.

When his wife ran out hearing the gunshots, they shot her too, injuring her in the leg, Singh said. She was admitted in a hospital here.

The assailants, identified as Sunil Parmar, Lakhan Nayak, Rahul Nayak, Rama Choudhry and Kanha (all aged between 20-25 years), are absconding. Police have lodged a case of murder against them.
 

All of them worked with Patel and had had a dispute with him over payment of commission on a property sale, Singh said.
