CCTV footage of a sports star being gunned down in the street by two
hitmen has become an online sensation across India.

Sukhwinder Narhwal, a 24-year-old national level kabaddi player, died
after the gunmen pumped up to 10 shots into his head and chest in
Rithal, northern India.
Police believe the Reservoir Dogs-style slaying was a professional execution.

on his mobile phone when a motor-scooter pulls up beside him.
Victim: Sukhwinder Narhwal, 24, was a national level kabaddi player and one of the sport's biggest stars
Murder: The killers leapt from the bike to murder the man in a brutal attack in northern India
First the pillion passenger guns him to the ground in a hail of bullets without any warning.
Then his companion leaps from the bike and continues the attack with a second gun before both men carry on together.
At one point, one gunman's pistol seems to jam and he calmly clears the blockage before continuing the deadly attack.
After apparently running out of ammunition, the pair leap back on their scooter and flee.Police
are now studying the gruesome CCTV footage of what looks to be a
professional hit, and have asked for witnesses to come forward.
Fleeing: After carrying the murder the men race off on their bike - police are now studying the CCTV footage
Local
police chief Superintendent Shashank Anand said: 'We have got some
vital clues in the case, but the details cannot be divulged at this
point in time. We hope to catch the culprits soon.'
Mr Narhwal was one of India's biggest stars in the traditional team game kabaddi, where players score points by invading their opponents' half of the pitch.
Some commentators believe he may have fallen foul of a gambling syndicate trying to fix matches.
