Youth shot dead teen sister in UP village for refusing to stop texting

SAHARANPUR: A tragic incident unfolded in Shekhpura Kadeem village where a teenage girl, Muskan (17), was allegedly shot dead by her brother, Aditya. The confrontation occurred on Sunday night when Muskan, engrossed in texting on her mobile phone, disregarded her brother's request to stop, as reported by ASP (City) Abhimaniyu Manglik.

As tensions flared between them, Aditya reportedly used a country-made pistol, resulting in the tragic shooting of Muskan, while their mother, Babita, was in another part of the house, unaware of the altercation, the ASP mentioned.

Despite prompt efforts from locals who rushed her to the hospital, Muskan was declared dead on arrival.

The accused, Aditya, believed to be in his early twenties, is currently on the run, prompting a police manhunt.

Locals disclosed that Aditya had objections regarding Muskan's relationship with a youth from a different community within the same village.

The authorities are investigating the case thoroughly, exploring all possible angles, as stated by the ASP.
