“The murder seems to be the outcome of a gang war,” Meerut SSP Onkar Singh said.

The undertrial was a resident of Wazidpur village in Baghpat and had 19 cases against him. He is said to be a member of the Udham Singh gang and was being taken to court as a witness in a triple murder case. The two constables allegedly fled after the firing. They have been suspended, Singh said.
