A chilling murder case has emerged from Meerut, Uttar Pradesh, where a man allegedly killed his close friend over remarks about his family. The victim, 22-year-old Rajan Jatav, a truck driver from Bahsuma, was sitting with his neighbour and friend, Sachin, near a sugarcane field in Mohalla Basi on Monday evening, around 6 pm. According to reports, Rajan made a comment about Sachin’s family, which led to a heated argument. In a fit of rage, Sachin left the spot, returned with a country-made pistol, and shot Rajan. Locals rushed the injured man to the hospital, where he was declared dead.
