DU student shot dead in Patel Nagar

“The incident took place when Manish Singh Chaudhary,the victim,and his brother Sushil were taking a walk in their locality after dinner on Thursday. When they decided to stop for ice-cream,two men came in a Skoda Laura and told the two youth to stop loitering there,” a police officer said.

“This led to an argument. The two brothers were pulled into the vehicle and assaulted,” the officer said.

After a while,the brothers were let off and they returned home.

“I was shocked when I heard that my sons were assaulted for no reason. I took my brothers and nephews to this man’s house. As soon as we reached there,his mother unleashed her dogs. And then a bullet hit Manish and he slumped. In the meantime,the dogs pounced on us and I was assaulted with rods,” Manish’s father,Rajbeer Singh,said.

Manish was taken to B L Kapur Hospital,where the doctors declared him dead.

Police said the two assailants had been identified and their mother arrested on Rajbeer Singh’s complaint. One of the two assailants also sustained a bullet injury after being shot at.

On Friday,angry residents blocked traffic in the area in protest against the killing.

This led to a long traffic snarl from Patel Nagar Metro station to Rajendra Place.

They left after police assured them that action would be taken against the accused.
