A regional reporter for a Hindi daily was shot dead by bike-borne assailants on the Sitapur-Delhi National Highway here on Saturday, police said.<\/p>\n
The attack occurred on the overbridge near the Hempur railway crossing, within the Imalia Sultanpur police station area.<\/p>\n
According to the police, the assailants opened fire on Raghvendra Bajpai (35) while he was commuting on his motorcycle.<\/p>\n
“Three bullets struck him in the shoulder and chest. The assailants then fled the scene on their motorcycle,” said Additional Superintendent of Police (ASP) Sitapur, Praveen Ranjan Singh.<\/p>\n
With the assistance of local residents, police transported Bajpai to a nearby hospital, where doctors pronounced him dead on arrival.<\/p>\n
Bajpai’s family told media outlets that he had received threatening phone calls in recent days.<\/p>\n
“Evidence collection has commenced and the district borders have been sealed to apprehend the perpetrators. Call details and other legal proceedings are underway,” ASP Singh said.<\/p>\n
The body has been sent for a post-mortem examination, he added.\u00a0<\/p>\n
