A 32-year-old shopkeeper and son of a local RSS leader was shot dead by two unidentified bike-borne attackers here, police said Sunday.

The victim has been identified as Naveen Arora (32), whose father Baldev Raj Arora has been associated with the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) for the past many years. The deceased also served as an RSS volunteer, they said.

Naveen’s grandfather, late Dina Nath, had also been a senior RSS leader in Ferozepur.

The incident occurred Saturday when Naveen was walking from his shop to his residence near the Sadhu Chand Chowk in the city, police said.

Two unidentified youth arrived on a motorcycle and opened fire at Naveen from point-blank range before fleeing, they said. Naveen was rushed to a private hospital, where he was declared dead on arrival.
