Though the woman’s brother and others, who gathered around the crime scene on hearing gunshots, chased him, the killer managed to escape by firing two rounds at them.

In his desperation to escape, the culprit abandoned his motorbike, which later led the police to zero in on its owner, identified as Rocky, and his eventual arrest. It has come out that he was unhappy with the deceased’s alleged illicit relations with his elder brother.

The police said that role of other people in the incident cannot be ruled out. While the post mortem of the deceased is yet to be conducted, further investigation is on in the case.
