Two people from Jammu and Kashmir's Rajouri district were arrested late on Wednesday in connection with the daylight murder of a pharmacy cashier in Sector 11 of Chandigarh. The incident had taken place last week when armed men opened fire on the cashier, killing him on the spot.
Sources confirmed that the two arrested individuals are expected to be brought to Chandigarh, where police will seek their remand.
Two masked men had shot dead pharmacy cashier Janki Das (45) in broad daylight in Sector 11 on Saturday. The shocking incident was captured by a CCTV camera installed at the pharmacy.
The assailants then fled on a motorcycle driven by a third accomplice who was waiting outside.
Following an investigation and analysis of CCTV footage, the Chandigarh Police in a joint operation with the Jammu and Kashmir Police apprehended two of the suspects from Jammu and Kashmir. According to a preliminary investigation, the attack may be linked to extortion, as an online group has claimed responsibility for the murder. However, police are investigating all possible angles.
