On reaching the spot, police found multiple empty bullet shells on the road.
“A blue Toyota Innova SUV was found with bullet marks on its front windshield. The realtor said he received multiple WhatsApp calls and voice messages from an unknown international number. The caller claimed himself as a big gangster, and demanded substantial money as extortion, and issued threats to him,” said DCP.
