PATNA: A 21-year-old youth was shot dead by unidentified armed criminals in Siwan district, police said on Sunday.
The incident has created tension in the area which took place around 8.30 pm on Saturday at Nagai village under Chainpur police outpost. Police said that three youths riding a motorbike fired at one Chhathu Patel when he was talking to his friend in the village.
The assailants pumped two bullets into Chhathu’s abdomen and tried to flee from the spot. However, local residents chased them. Apprehending trouble, they abandoned their bike and escaped on foot. They also fired shots in the air to keep the residents at bay.
Chainpur police outpost SHO Rakesh Kumar said that Chhathu was rushed to the sadar hospital where he succumbed to his injuries. Love affair is suspected to be the reason behind the murder. Chhathu had returned to his native village from Hyderabad on January 27.
The deceased’s father, Dasai Patel, told police that one Guddu Yadav of neighbouring Rampur village had threatened Chhathu with dire consequences. On Saturday, Guddu had visited Nagai and asked Chhathu not to interfere into the matter. “Guddu had an affair with a girl,” he added.
The SHO said that Guddu’s role is being verified. “The mob had badly damaged the vehicle belonging to the accused,” he said.
