Lucknow: Two persons have been arrested and sent to jail for opening fire at their neighbour over a petty construction row in Sultanpur.
The accused have been identified as Anil Verma and his driver Jang Bahadur. The police said that on June 5 one Vishal Srivastava, who was constructing a cowshed outside his house, entered an argument with his neighbour
Anil Verma.
Anil objected to the construction work as he said it would pose problems to his school-going children.
The issue took an ugly turn when Anil whipped out a revolver and opened fire at Vishal. Though Vishal escaped unhurt in the firing, the bullet hit his pet Max who died on the spot.
