A gunman chillingly returns to a bar and shots the DJ dead allegedly in revenge for being kicked out.
The horror moment was captured on CCTV.
The security camera showed the man as he walked into the venue wielding the rifle in the early hours of yesterday (27 May) morning.

He came face-to-face with DJ Sandip Pramanik as he was scrolling through his phone.
The bare-chested man walks towards him with his T-shirt covering half his face and his gun aimed squarely at the disk jockey’s chest.
He then fires a single shot from point-blank range.
The DJ recoils, places his hand over his chest, and staggers towards the edge of the room.
He drops to the floor as his killer goes through another doorway and down a staircase.
The horror unfolded in Ranchi, India, after the sports bar had closed for the night, as reported on Need to Know.
Local media say Sandip, originally from West Bengal, was waiting for a taxi home when he was shot.
Police officers arrived on the scene and took him to a local hospital, but medics were unable to revive him.
Local media say the killer likely went down the stairs in search of Sandip’s workmates, but they had already gone home.
He reportedly fired several rounds into the bar area before retracing his steps and fleeing in his parked car.
The police believe he killed Sandip in revenge for being thrown out of the sports bar earlier that night.
The suspected gunman and his pals had been drinking at the bar when a row with the bouncers began.
According to reports, the group was accused of “dancing indecently in front of women patrons.”
Manager Vishal Singh told local media: “Following offensive behaviour by the customers, I asked the bouncers to expel them and closed the bar at midnight.”
The suspect lives in Ranchi but officers arrested him in his home district of Gaya later on Monday.
He had reportedly changed vehicles after an accident while fleeing.
Officers recovered the “sophisticated” rifle used in the killing, as well as two arms licences, whose authenticity they will verify.
The arrested man works in Ranchi as a soft drink distributor and also has a cigarette company, according to reports.
Others have been arrested in connection with the altercation with the bouncers and the police will investigate whether anyone else was involved in the killing.
Sandip had been working at the bar for less than a month, say reports.
A bar staff member, who chose to remain anonymous, told local media: “He was one of the best DJs in town and had nothing to do with what happened in the bar earlier.
“He was an innocent man.”
