Flying kite proved fatal for two brothers who were seriously injured when armed youths pumped three bullets into them from pointblank range at Purana Bazar here today.
The injured have been identified as Tarun (28) and Kashav (30). They are struggling for life at the CMC Hospital.
According to the police, two groups led by Tarun and Harsh were at loggerheads over the “cutting” of kite.
The argument soon turned ugly and both groups started abusing each other.
According to a resident, there was heated exchange of words between both groups and they even started throwing bricks at each other. Later, they gathered near a mandir at Purana Bazar to settle score.
Maddi, who was carrying a pistol, allegedly fired a shot into the air and pumped bullets into the abdomen of Tarun. Kashav was hit by one bullet.
Another resident alleged that Kashav and Tarun, along with 15 others, overpowered Harsh and Maddi. Finding no option, Maddi took out his pistol and fired a shot into the air. But when the youths again tried to grapple with them, the accused shot at the two youths and fled.
The injured were rushed to the hospital, where their condition is stated to be serious. Davinder Singh, SHO of Division No. 4, said efforts were on to nab the accused. No case had been registered so far.
