Manila : An Indian businessman has been shot dead in the Philippines by two unidentified gunmen, the third such incident in less than three months involving Indian nationals.
Iqbal Singh, 27, was shot dead when he was heading towards his apartment in Lumangbayan in Calapan city of Oriental Mindoro province on Tuesday, the Inquirer reported yesterday. Singh, who was single and a resident of the city for the past eight years, died on the spot after being shot by the motorcycle-borne assailants.
The police suspect Singh could have been murdered over some disputes related to his money lending business. “Both gunmen wore black jackets. The motorcycle driver was wearing a helmet while the pillion rider a bonnet,” a police officer said.
