Deepak was found still wearing his seatbelt, indicating he was likely inside the car when the assailants opened fire on him, reports said. The exact time of the shooting and the identity of the attackers remain unclear at this stage.

Murder case, CCTV scan under way

A formal case of murder is expected to be registered at the Bilaspur police station as the investigation proceeds. Police teams are reviewing CCTV footage from the surrounding areas to reconstruct the sequence of events and identify those responsible.

Investigators are working to establish a motive, including the possibility of personal enmity or a past rivalry.
