But, the car following him blocked him and the occupants of the car shot at him multiple times, according to a Zee News report . The Times of India quoted a senior police official as saying that the occupants of the car fired at Chauhan causing him to lose control and crash into a tree. One of them then got out of the car and shot at him and then the duo fled. The software engineer’s friend who was with him in the car was unhurt. Chauhan was taken to a hospital by another commuter but was declared dead on arrival. The police has said that they suspect it to be a case of premediated murder due to some personal enmity and are speaking to Chauhan’s family, and his friend who was in the car.
