DIMAPUR, November 14
Unidentified gunman on Friday night fired upon Ritika Mehta (48), owner of Apna Hotel, Dimapur inside the hotel at around 9 pm. However, she was saved by providence as the pistol used by the gunman misfired. Speaking to media persons on Saturday, Ritika said that one man entered her hotel during closing hours and asked her in Nagamese, “jabo?” “When I replied, ‘where to go?’ he grabbed my wrist and took out a pistol,” she said. Ritika said that upon seeing the pistol, she freed herself from the clutch of the gunman and fled the scene. She said that the man fired from behind but the gun misfired. An FIR has been lodged and investigations are on. Thanking the police for their cooperation, she appealed them to leave no stone unturned to identify the culprit at the earliest and deal with the case as per the law of the land.
