The firing triggered panic in the locality. Police found bullet marks on the house wall and recovered empty cartridges. CCTV footage from nearby cameras is being examined. Sources said that earlier this month, the trader had received a threat demanding Rs 4 crore, allegedly in Brar's name. Brar, who is believed to be operating from Canada, is wanted in several criminal cases in Punjab and Rajasthan. On March 25 also, cartridges and a threatening letter were thrown at Kathodiya's house. With the latest incident Tuesday night, police suspect a clear extortion attempt by Brar's gang. A case was registered, and efforts are underway to identify the shooters. Due to Sriganganagar's proximity to Punjab and Haryana, organised gangs have increasingly been targeting wealthy individuals in Rajasthan's bordering districts. Sources said several traders are currently facing extortion threats. Recently, local police seized a large cache of arms and narcotics in two separate operations conducted by Kotwali and Jawahar Nagar police stations. Five accused were arrested, and police recovered 2.183 kg of heroin valued at Rs 12 crore in the international market, along with a Turkish Zigana pistol, six Austrian Glock pistols, 13 magazines, and 32 live cartridges — all banned for civilian use in the country.
