High drama was witnessed in the Industrial Area, Phase II, here today when a Sector 46 resident threatened a businessman and fired a gunshot in the air. A dispute with a former employer was the reason behind the assault, the police said.

He told the police that Amit Chaudhary, alias Amu, along with others came outside his office and assaulted him at gunpoint and hit him with a gun on his head.
