Sahu has told police that he was called at the parking lot and when he reached there around 9.40 pm, Kumar shot him in the back, a senior police officer said.

During investigation, it was found that Kumar and Sahu were business partners and dealt in property. Their partnership ended last year over some differences, the officer said.

Kumar said Sahu unnecessarily interfered in his property business and lured clients which caused massive financial loss. Thus, he was looking for an opportunity to take revenge, police said.
