According to the police and eyewitnesses, the incident took place at 9.15 am.
Bhanu owns a jeweler showroom by the name of Bhanuka Jewelers. Bhanu closed the showroom and got into his car parked in the next street. Suddenly two bikers came there and fired at him. He was adjusting his seat when the bullets pierced the widow. It was why he escaped narrowly.
The bikers then fled towards 200-feet Bypass road when they saw that the bullets had missed their target. They left the spot because there were a lot of people nearby.
Police suspect that the bikers were keeping a watch on the jeweler for the past few days because they knew his routine.
