Cuttack, Odisha : A youth was critically injured in a firing incident late last night at the Nuabazar area in Cuttack. The victim, identified as Sanjay Tarai from Khapuria under Madhupatna police limits, was shot by unidentified miscreants allegedly due to previous enmity.
According to reports, Sanjay was returning home on a bicycle with a friend via the Nuabazar flyover when a group of assailants intercepted them. An argument broke out, which soon escalated, leading to the miscreants opening fire at Sanjay before fleeing the scene.
Sanjay sustained severe injuries and was immediately rushed to SCB Medical College and Hospital in Cuttack, where he is currently undergoing treatment.
Preliminary investigation suggests that the attack may be linked to old rivalry. Chauliaganj police have launched a probe and efforts are underway to identify and apprehend the culprits.
