It was said that the attack occurred in a petrol station and pharmacy shop.

According to report, among the five victims, two were females and three males.

A source said, “They were six in number. While coming in, the robbers shot dead one of the vigilante operatives on sight before gunning down a worker, who was woken up by the sound of gunshots.
