UditVani, Jamshedpur: A gang of armed criminals this morning opened fire on a 27- year-old youth identified as Shubham Ghosh at the Harijan Bustee in Dhatkidih under Bistupur police station area.
The gunshot attack victim is the son of slain liquor mafia Munna Ghosh.

According to eye-witnesses account the victim’s friend Rahul said and Shubham were negotiating a road through Dhatkidih market, three bike-borne youths intercepted them.
One of the three, identified as Shibu fished out a pistol and trained it at Shubham who somehow caught the former. But in the meantime, some youths suddenly emerged from an adjoining lane.

The police, however, succeeded in pacifying the desperadoes having assured them that those involved in the attack would be arrested soon.
But, keeping the sensitivity of the incident, the City SP deployed Quick Response Teams (QRTs) at the crime scene.
Shubham Ghosh too has a criminal record and was accused in a murder case.
Personal rivalry is said to have resulted in the attack.
