Police in Goa are searching for two unidentified suspects who fired at the director of a casino group outside his hotel in Porvorim, sparking concerns about the state's law and order situation. According to a senior police official, the shooting occurred outside a five-star property near the local police station on Friday night.
The director, Srinivas Nayak, who was sitting in his car with his bodyguards, escaped unharmed. The assailants fled after firing three rounds at Nayak's car, with his security personnel returning fire. CCTV footage showed the two men waiting near the hotel gate before the attack.
