Unidentified killer (s) gunned down a 35 year old gangster Kunal Kishore Singh in the town Daltonganj around 7 in the morning today.

According to SP Palamu Ajay Linda the gangster was in his car when the assailant (s) pumped two bullets one in his forehead and the other in his chest which collapsed Singh who was rushed to a city nursing home where he was declared brought dead.

Linda said before the gun shots that were fired the gangster’s luxury car was hit head on by a safari car wherein both the vehicles suffered damages.

The deceased and the killer(s) vehicles were thus rendered immovable and abandoned. One in the car Kunal died while the other (s) in the safari managed to flee abandoning the safari car. Police have recovered 5 empty cartridges.

The early morning shoot out created sensation but the town Daltonganj has seen more such shoot outs of a similar nature in the past too.

Police have found out the name of the owner of the safari which had a deliberate and intentional head on collision with the gangster’s car probably to finish him off in road accident but the killer(s) plan went all upside down.

Linda said the motive behind this murder is deep seated enmity or revenge as the mode of killing goes to prove it.

The deceased was on the roll of the top dreaded gangster Dabloo Singh but police sources said in the recent time the two Singhs Kunal and Dabloo were at loggerheads.

Linda said police too are having this information that Kunal and Dabloo were not on good terms and our cops are trying to find out if this shoot out is an internecine war among the gangsters.

SDPO Sandip Kumar Gupta said Kunal had 12 cases against him and he was on bail since December 2018 and also since 2014 he had no crime record of him as well.
