In what looks like a scene from one of Clint Eastwood's movies, an ex-serviceman walked up to a motorcycle dealer in Kengeri, on the outskirts of Bangalore, Karnataka, pulled out a gun and opened fire.

The ex-serviceman, a customer, decided to open fire after a heated argument with a salesperson after the showroom delayed to deliver a motorcycle he had booked.
