Three engineering students were allegedly shot and seriously injured by a security guard following an argument over taking selfies outside a farmhouse in the Kho Nagoriyan area.
The incident took place late on Saturday night. Rohit, Shailendra and Devendra were returning to their hostel after having dinner at a roadside eatery. They stopped outside the farmhouse of a private university owner and started taking selfies, police said.
The security guard, Zor Singh, tried to stop them and an altercation ensued. Flying into a rage, Singh opened fire at them with his 12-bore gun. They suffered bullet injuries in their brain, eye and chest and are undergoing treatment at a hospital. Rohit’s condition is critical, police said.
A case has been registered against Singh under Section 307 (attempt to murder) of IPC.
