In a tragic incident early Friday morning, a man waiting for his pre-dawn meal (sehri) was brutally gunned down by four men on motorcycles near his home in Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh. The victim, identified as Haris alias Katta, had just returned from a cricket match and was preparing to have sehri at around 3:15 AM.

Chilling Details Captured on CCTV

CCTV footage from Telipada in Aligarh’s Roravar area reveals a horrifying sequence of events. Haris was standing near his house when two motorcycles pulled up. As he turned to observe, one of the attackers, already pointing a firearm, shot him while the bike was still moving. Within seconds, the pillion rider discharged two more shots, causing Haris to collapse. In a further act of brutality, the shooter reloaded and fired another bullet at the fallen victim. One of the assailants even dismounted and attempted to fire at Haris again, initially forgetting to cock his gun before continuing with three more shots. The attackers then fled the scene on their motorcycles, leaving chaos in their wake.
