A tea seller identified as Chhotu Kumar, 20,was gunned down in his tea stall where he used to sleep at night in the market of Lesliganj.
Officer in charge of the Lesliganj police station Gautam Roy said the incident took place on the intervening night of Sunday and Monday wherein this tea seller was shot dead around 1 o'clock on Monday night while he was as usual in his tea stall at that fateful intervening night.
The deceased had one firearms injury in his chest. His post mortem was conducted at the MMCH Daltonganj.
Police officer Gautam Roy said there is no clue about this murder whether it was a deliberate one or any accidental one. The family of the deceased denied Chhotu having any enmity with anyone.
The deceased had drinks with two people known to him on the intervening night Sunday and Monday.
Police have detained one of the two persons who was with the deceased in his drinks together but this detainee is not telling anything vital to the police about this case as to how Chhotu Kumar was shot to death.
Sources said it is just possible that during the drinking bout some altercation erupted in which one having drinks with Chhotu Kumar took out his illicit katta and fired at him leading to his death.
Police have registered the case of murder and investigation is on.
