The incident took place late Wednesday when the two motorcycle-borne men arrived at the petrol station to get their bike refilled, they said.

The duo then asked a staffer to fill petrol in a plastic bottle who refused. They approached pump manager, Raju Sharma, 30, and insisted on getting the fuel, police said.

When Sharma too rejected their demand, an argument ensued and the duo opened fire at him and fled the scene, they said.
