Daman, a student of Plus 2 at a local school, succumbed to his injuries after being hit by a bullet in cross-firing between two groups of youths today.

SSP Suhail Qasim Mir said that Daman was referred to an Amritsar hospital by doctors of the Batala Civil Hospital after he sustained bullet injuries. However, he died on way to Amritsar.

The incident took place in Radha Krishna colony in the heart of the city. Notably, Raj Kumar, a Punjab Police constable who had been assigned security duty with AAP leader Yash Pal Chauhan, whose residence is nearby, chased one of the assailants for nearly 3 kilometres before nabbing him.
