Deceased’s father is a senior lecturer in Haldwani based college. “They came to meet their friends, Ankit and Tarun at their Shakarpur residence. The incident occurred around 1 am on Sunday when they were returning from a friend’s house after having dinner. They had a heated argument with the assailants and the argument turned to be violent. Following a minor scuffle, the accused opened fire at them and sped away on their motorbikes,” the officer added.
