One round of pistol was recovered by the cops from the spot. An FIR was registered in this connection at Geeta Colony police station.
Ajay revealed that he had borrowed Rs 20 lakh from some persons in Geeta Colony and had opened a cafeteria in Noida but the business was not doing well and he had to close it down.
