28-Year-Old Man Shot Dead in Karnal; Investigation and Family Protests Underway
A 28-year-old man named Veeru Valmiki was shot dead by two motorcycle-borne attackers near Hansi Road in Karnal on Wednesday night. Police recovered evidence and are investigating, with initial findings suggesting a personal rivalry. The victim's family and community protested outside the mortuary, demanding the arrest of the accused, a government job for the victim's wife, and financial aid, delaying the postmortem. A gang claimed responsibility via social media, but police are verifying this claim while continuing their inquiry.
