On reaching the spot, the police found some bullet projectiles and empty cartridges. They also discovered split blood on the pavement, Chauhan added.
A case has been registered and five teams have been constituted for surveillance and identification of the assailants, the DCP said.
In the CCTV footage of the incident, which surfaced on social media, the deceased can be seen talking to a person when one of the attackers walked towards him and opened fire on him from a close range. The attacker fled on a motorbike with his associate, who was waiting for him.
After the incident, a claim was made on social media in the name of gangster Rohit Godara, a close aide of Goldy Brar from the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, in this regard.
A post on an account in the name of gangster Rohit Godara stated that the shooting had been ordered by jailed criminal Sameer Baba because Shah was creating problems in their business. It added that anyone who supports his rivals and troubles them will be shot in the same manner.
