Saurabh filed a complaint at Modinagar police station.
“When we reached the Sikri railway crossing, Beer Singh and his associates — Rajendra, Rahul, Amit, Ankit, and Ashu — who were already there, surrounded us and started firing. My father was driving the bike, and I ran towards a nearby farm,” he said.
DCP (Rural) Vivek Yadav said, “One year ago, a few people were sent to jail after a conflict between the two and a fight between two groups. The arrested accused said that the group opened fire due to the old rivalry.”
