In Zirakpur's Singhpura area, two motorcycle-borne men fired three rounds at realtor Amit Dua's office, linked to ongoing extortion threats demanding Rs 5 crore. Dua reported receiving such threats for about a year, including previous attacks and threats to his family. He has filed complaints and hired security, but alleges limited police action. Police registered an Arms Act case and are investigating the incident captured on CCTV.
