Prayagraj(U.P): There was ruckus outside Karnalganj Police Station after a man was shot dead by bike-borne assailants near Karnalganj in Prayagraj.
The deceased has been identified as Bachha Yadav.
"At around 10:35 pm Yadav went to watch a match near his place in Katra, while he was watching the match, bike-borne assailants shot him from behind and sped away. A case has been registered, we have information that there are criminal cases against the deceased as well. We are investigating the matter," said Superintendent of Police Brajesh Srivastava.
Yadav's family claims that he was killed by a drug smuggler, identified as 'Baby Farida' alias 'Billi'. Baby Farida and Yadav were neighbours and used to reside in Katra.
"Yadav always used to oppose Billi's illegal businesses, she used to sell drugs in his vicinity and he was totally against it. He tried to stop her and that's why Billi killed him, "said Yadav's brother Vinay Yadav.
"We want the police officials to do something in this matter and arrest the accused within 24 hours. She has been arrested three to four times earlier as well but, was always released after her arrest, as the cops used to take bribes from her," he added.
