Rohtak, July 6

The Rewari police have constituted a special investigation team (SIT) to arrest the killers of a Rewari youth who was shot dead on Friday.

In his complaint, Shishram of Ranoli village in Rewari said, “It was my son Dinesh’s birthday on Friday. I went to his shop to call him so that we could celebrate his birthday together. In the meantime, three youths — Shiv of Jalalpur, Suni Gurjar of Patuhera and Amit Pahalwan of Asalwas — came to the shop and started quarreling with him.”

After a while, they again came in a car, he said. They were accompanied by two motorcycle-borne youths, Sachin Chirhada and Devender, alias Debu Chirhada, Shishram added.

“They again started quarreling with Dinesh over some old enmity. Around 9 pm, Shiv shot my son in the chest. We took him to a hospital, where he was declared dead,” said Dinesh’s father.

The police have registered an FIR under Sections 103 (1) and 3 (5) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS)-2023 and Section 25 of the Arms Act, 1959. Kasola SHO Inspector Shiv Darshan said an SIT had been constituted to investigate the case and several police teams, including members of the CIA staff wings, were out to nab the persons named in the FIR. No arrests had been so far, he added.
