Akash, a neighbour, reached Ramveer's home, from where he also runs a shop, around 5 am on the pretext of buying sugar. When he opened the door, Akash allegedly shot him and fled, police had said on Thursday.

A probe revealed that Ramveer's sister was in a relationship with Akash, who frequented their house.
