Police are searching for three men who shot dead an Indian national on Sunday afternoon in front of a variety store in Sultan Kudarat town in Maguindanao del Norte.
Lt. Colonel Jopy Ventura, spokesperson of Police Regional Office-Bangsamoro Autonomous Region (PRO-BAR), said Jagmeet Singh, an Indian moneylender and resident of Barangay Rosary Heights 10 here, was collecting money from his borrowers about 3:30 p.m. on Sunday when three men on board a motorbike arrived and shot him in the head three times.
Ventura said the attack happened in front of a roadside store in Barangay Limbo, Sultan Kudarat, Maguindanao del Norte.
The victim died on the spot and the suspects, based on witnesses’ accounts, took the victim’s sling bag that contained an undetermined amount of collection.
Police said that money could be the motive of the attack as the suspects took away the victim’s sling bag containing his collections.
