Man shot dead outside Punjabi University

SP Harpal denied that Dharamvir was a Kabbadi player and added that he had a past rivalry with one of the accused Harvir Singh, a resident of same village Dharamvir came from.

SP said police had booked Harvir, Tajinder, Bonny and Harman in the murder case.

The officer added that Dharamvir died of bullet shot on his back, on the side where heart is located. SP refuted reports that deceased was a Kabbadi player, even as unconfirmed reports said that he was chief of village sports club.

“He (the deceased) has nothing to do with Kabbadi at all,” said SP Harpal, adding that the clash traced its roots to old rivalry, where the deceased, a pass out from the University, nursed a grudge against prime accused Harvir, “who was junior to him in the University”.
