<p>A dispute over scooty parking turned deadly for a 27-year-old man who was allegedly shot dead outside his house in Punjab’s Amritsar on Friday.</p>
<p>The deceased has been identified as Amit. The attackers reportedly fired six rounds at him. Amit was hit by four bullets in the head and abdomen, leaving him critically injured.</p>
<p>According to the victim’s family, they heard sounds resembling firecrackers inside the house and rushed outside to find Amit lying in a pool of blood. They immediately tried to take him to the hospital, but he succumbed to his injuries on the way.</p>
<p>The incident reportedly occurred when Amit had parked his Activa scooter in the lane outside his house.
