The attack, which took place at Hotel Highway King, involved multiple rounds fired indiscriminately around the premises in an attempt to spread fear and coerce the management into paying extortion money. The two attackers, later identified as members of the
Bambiha gang
, are believed to be part of a larger terrorist-gangster nexus led by Dalla.
From their spot inspection, Kotputli-Behror police suspected that the assailants had a pistol and a Sten gun-like carbine, capable of firing up to 10 rounds.
The assilants loaded a magazine and fired a total of 35 rounds.
Both atatckers fearlessly arrived at the hotel on a Splendor bike, parked it, and went in different directions. One fired bullets with a Sten gun at the shops outside, while the other went inside. He handed a slip demanding Rs 5 crore to the employee at the reception. During this, he looked at the CCTV camera and started firing with a pistol. The employee hid under the counter.
Meanwhile, the firing from outside shattered the shop windows. The staff saved themselves by hiding.
