75-year-old shot over old enmity

Simmering enmity between two groups of villagers claimed life of an old man in Bendo village under the Naini police station here on Saturday morning. An FIR was later lodged in this regard.
Naini station officer said that the attack was a fallout of an old enmity between two groups. “Several people from both groups are lodged in jail in connection with several cases. We have been monitoring both groups closely to avoid any such incident,” said the SO.
According to reports, Kashi Prasad Tiwari (75) of Bendo village was on way to Karchana along with his relative on his motorcycle. The duo was intercepted by two motorcycle-borne miscreants coming from opposite side. They fired at Kashi killing him on the spot. Kashi was rushed to SRN Hospital, where doctors pronounced him brought dead.
Kashi’s six relatives are already lodged in Central Jail, Naini, due to an old enmity with Rama Shankar group. Two persons from each group had been killed recently in a similar manner, said the police.
