Class 12 student, mistaken as cattle smuggler, chased and shot dead in Haryana's Faridabad
New Delhi/IBNS: A class 12 student, who has been mistaken as a cattle smuggler, was chased and shot dead by cow vigilantes in Haryana's Faridabad, media reports said.
Five have been arrested, police said.
The arrested men chased Aryan Mishra and his friends, including two girls for about 30 kilometers in the Delhi-Agra national highway.
The cow vigilantes had got an information that a few cattle smugglers were recceing the city and picked up cattle in Renault Duster and Toyota Fortuner cars.
After noticing a Duster car, the chasing group asked one of the men who were chased to stop the vehicle.
After the car didn't stop, the group chased the vehicle, opened fire and a bullet hit Aryan, who was in the passenger's seat.
When the car stopped, a second bullet hit Aryan's chest.
But when two girls were spotted in the car, the cow vigilantes realised they misidentified them as cattle smugglers.
