17-Year-Old Killed, Two Injured in Chandigarh Sector 22 Shooting; Juveniles Detained
A 17-year-old boy named Natik was shot dead and two others, including an auto-rickshaw driver, injured in a firing incident in Chandigarh's Sector 22. The attack involved two juveniles on a motorcycle and is believed to stem from a longstanding rivalry between two groups of school friends, which escalated after a video of a prior altercation was shared on social media. Police have detained the accused minors and are investigating the case, with forensic teams involved. This follows a recent similar juvenile-related murder in the city.
