Vera was into utensil selling business and was collecting information from the government against the illegal constructions in the locality. "On Saturday evening, Vera was watching television in one of the rooms when the attacker/s entered the residence. The assailant fired one round, the bullet passed through his right temple... it looks the victim was shot point-blank." Never did he get into dispute with anyone other than former corporator Razzaq Khan who had allegedly encroached his property." Vera's wife Ranjan also attested to him receiving threats.
