A 40 year old tailor identified as Tauseef survived a bid on his life last night around 10 pm. Two assailants following him on a bike fired shots at him which hurt his one shoulder. The tailor was also on another bike going home. The tailor is undergoing treatment in a private hospital.
Officer in charge of the town police station Daltonganj Abhay Kumar Sinha said police will soon crack this case. Sinha said it will be too premature to jump to any conclusion as to what was the compelling situation or circumstances that led to this shoot out at night.
The Police officer said the way the assailants had fired shots could be just for the purpose of frightening him but incidentally it hurt the tailor. Sinha said had the assailants decided to finish him they could have not missed the chance.
The motive behind the shoot out is yet to be ascertained. There have been no arrests so far till the time of filing of this report.
