Labourer shot dead by unidentified men in Uran

“Around 6 pm on Monday,Thakur and Umaji (40) were sitting outside the garage where Umaji worked as a battery repair mechanic. Three men on a motorbike approached and opened fire at the duo. While the rider remained seated,the other two got down and walked up to the duo and fired at them. Three bullets hit Thakur killing him at the spot and one hit Umaji in the leg,” said senior police inspector R K Kothawale of Uran police station.
