What the case is about
There has been a major breakthrough in the high-profile cashier murder in Sector 11 of Chandigarh, the shared capital of Punjab and Haryana. Police have now identified the shooters who carried out the brazen daytime attack inside the Kumar Medical Store. However, none of the accused has been arrested yet, and police teams are continuing their hunt to track them down.
Trail leads to Jammu and Kashmir
According to exclusive information accessed by TrendKia, the accused involved in the killing are believed to be connected to Jammu and Kashmir. The most startling aspect of the investigation is that this is the first time shooters have travelled from Jammu and Kashmir to carry out such a crime in Chandigarh before fleeing. Reliable police sources say Chandigarh Police have all but completed the identification of the accused and that they will soon be put behind bars.
Panic and extortion calls at the scene
On Monday, the TrendKia team visited the chemist market in Sector-11 to assess the situation on the ground. This is the very spot where Janki Das was shot dead in a burst of firing two days earlier. Since the incident, shopkeepers in the area have been receiving extortion calls, prompting authorities to deploy police security outside the shops. Meanwhile, the Kumar Medicos shop where the shots were fired is now open, with the owner himself present and overseeing the business. Customers continue to come and go as usual.
How the attack was carried out
It is worth noting that on Saturday, at around 2:30 pm, two shooters opened fire on the shop's cashier and escaped from the scene. The accused had arrived on a motorcycle and fled immediately after the attack. Before making their getaway, they bought new clothes at Khajedi, opposite the bus stand, then changed their clothes at a barber shop and left. They subsequently boarded a bus from the bus stand and disappeared. So far, none of the accused has been arrested.
Who was Janki Das
After the post-mortem, the body was handed over to Janki Das's family. He was originally a resident of Dalgaon in Rohru, Shimla, Himachal Pradesh, and had been working at the same shop for the past 24 years.
