Two masked gunmen entered a medical store in Chandigarh’s Sector 11 market and shot the cashier, killing her [1].
The daylight attack in a busy commercial hub has raised immediate concerns regarding public safety and the audacity of the perpetrators in a high-traffic area.
Janaki Das was the victim of the shooting [1]. According to reports, the attackers fired 13 rounds [2] inside the chemist shop before fleeing the scene. The violence occurred in the Sector 11 market, an area typically crowded with shoppers and business owners.
CCTV footage of the incident has surfaced, showing the masked gunmen storming the pharmacy [2]. The footage captures the moments leading up to the shooting, providing investigators with visual evidence of the assailants' movements.
Authorities have not yet identified the gunmen or established a motive for the killing. The investigation remains ongoing as police review the available surveillance video and seek witnesses from the surrounding market area. The scale of the gunfire—totaling 13 rounds [2]—indicates a level of aggression that has shocked the local community.
No other injuries were reported in the immediate vicinity of the pharmacy during the attack. The death of Das marks a violent escalation in the Sector 11 district, where such daylight shootings are uncommon.
“Two masked gunmen entered a medical store in Chandigarh’s Sector 11 market and shot the cashier.”
The use of high-caliber volume—specifically 13 rounds—in a crowded public market suggests a targeted execution or a deliberate attempt to create chaos rather than a robbery gone wrong. The fact that the perpetrators wore masks and operated in broad daylight indicates a level of planning that may point to organized criminal activity or a specific vendetta, challenging the perceived security of Chandigarh's commercial sectors.
