Business Standard: Meerut: Saturday, April 27, 2013.
A teenager
was today shot dead by two persons, who allegedly came to eliminate his brother
for filing an RTI application to expose "irregularities" in a PDS
shop.
Omendra
alleged that the accused, including shop owner Ajeet, sneaked into the house
this morning and opened fire on his 18-year-old brother Tinku, killing him on
the spot, police said.
The second
accused Amit, who was later arrested, told police that they had mistakenly
killed Tinku and their target was Omendra, they said.
He said
Omendra had filed an RTI seeking to expose irregularities in the functioning of
the fair price shop of his friend and co-accused Ajeet, which had angered them.
Despite
repeated warnings, Omendra had refused to withdraw the RTI, Amit told police.
A manhunt has
been launched to nab Ajeet, who is still at large, police said.
