UditVani, Jamshedpur : A youth was shot dead near Carmel Junior College under the Sonari police station area in broad -day- light today.
The shooting incident which took place at around 11.30 am triggered a sensation in the locality.
The murder victim was identified as Suraj Pramanik, a resident of Parsudih, in the outskirts of the city.
According to sources, the victim was seated inside his autorickshaw at an open field behind the Carmel Junior College, apparently waiting for someone at about 11.30 am when a couple of youths arrived there and started firing targeting him.
In the spur of moment, the victim somehow escaped unhurt and started running for safety. But, the assailants chased him and shot him dead at a little distance away before fleeing the spot.

” Prima facie it appears to be an old enmity that led to the murder. Detailed investigation is on. The culprits would be booked soon, ” he said.
