Mira Road resident Vijay Pradhan alias Bunty, who is the proprietor of Dolphin Properties, had been drinking with his friends and cousin at Pushpak bar in the Golden Nest locality. No sooner had Pradhan and his friends stepped out at 9.30 pm, than they were attacked by two men on motorcycles.
The unidentified assailants opened four rounds of fire, shooting Pradhan in the head. One of his friends, Sachin Vijaykar, also got shot. He was taken to Thunga Hospital in Mira Road, where he later died of his bullet wounds.
Pradhan’s cousin Rajesh Johori, who was also part of the group, fled the scene, while the cops are yet to ascertain what happened to the fourth person in the group.
