The incident, which happened about 7pm, caused panic in the area, as commuters took alternative routes for safety.

A source, who witnessed the incident, who did not want his name in print narrated that the gunmen used their vehicle to block the road temporarily on sighting their target.
The source said: “Some kidnappers just picked a woman now. The woman was driving; they shot her car tyres. They forced the woman into their own car and drove off.
“They abandoned two persons who were with the kidnapped woman in the car (a male and female). The husband of the victim, who was contacted later arrived the scene.”
