A youth was killed in the indiscriminate firing that started suddenly between two sides clashing over transaction of money at Agra's Untgiri intersection. The firing also created panic amongst the onlookers and the shop-keepers, leading to a stampede-situation as the people ran helter-skelter to take shelter. The shutters of the shops also fell and the entire market closed within a few minutes.
Later senior officers along with local police reached the spot and launched a hunt for the miscreants who opened fire in the crowded market.
According to reports, Annu, a resident of Kheragarh, had a transaction of money with Shivkumar of the same village.
There was a wedding in the village on Sunday night in which Shivkumar also went to attend the function. When Annu came to know about this, he also went there with his people. When they came face to face, Annu asked Shiv Kumar to return his money or be ready to face the consequences. This led to a heated exchange of words between the two sides. Both sides left the party and came and again clashed at the Untagiri intersection.
The situation took an ugly turn when both the sides suddenly opened fire on each other which led to panic and people rushed to take shelter. During this, a bullet hit 25-year-old Ankit in his stomach and he fell on the spot.
