Youth succumb to gunshot wounds

DIJKOT:

A young man who was injured in a shooting incident following an altercation over a minor issue two days ago succumbed to his injuries in a hospital on Monday.

According to sources, Umar Ali had been severely injured two days ago when Zeeshan Haider alias Shani and others opened fire on him while he was on his way to buy household items from a shop. He was taken to the hospital after first aid, where he remained in critical condition before succumbing to his injuries on Monday afternoon.

After his death, dozens of his relatives blocked both sides of the Narwala Road and chanted slogans against the Ghulam police, alleging that they were delaying action against the murderers. Senior police officials reached the spot and assured the protesters that the suspects in the case would soon be arrested.
