Thapa had sustained bullet injuries and was taken to Harishchandra Hospital, where doctors declared him dead, they added.

Thapa had two complaints filed against him for extortion and attempted murder, according to preliminary findings, a police officer said.

Police suspect personal enmity as a possible motive behind the killing, as he was reportedly involved in a long-standing family dispute with his in-laws, the officer said.

A case has been registered, and multiple teams have been formed to track down the assailants.  Apart from this, CCTV footage from the area is also being scanned to nab the accused, he added.
