Ghaziabad: Tragedy struck Mahamudpur village in the Thana Teela Mod area of Ghaziabad when a 40-year-old man was gunned down in the midst of a political dispute. The incident, which has sent shockwaves through the community, involved allegations against the village head’s husband, Kapil Pradhan, who has been accused of committing the murder.
The victim, a young man, had been embroiled in an ongoing electoral rivalry with the village head’s husband, Kapil Pradhan. The political tensions had been escalating in recent times, leading to a grim culmination in the form of the fatal shooting.
Family members and villagers claim that the deceased had been threatened with violence by Kapil Pradhan on several occasions, and the situation had become increasingly volatile. Not only had the victim been targeted, but even his uncle had received threats on his mobile phone, warning of potential harm. Distressed relatives assert that they had made multiple complaints to the local police but no appropriate action had been taken to address the threats.
The tragic incident unfolded in the evening, around 8:00 PM when the young man was at his residence. Upon receiving a phone call, he left his house but was met with a barrage of bullets as soon as he stepped out. The assailant reportedly fired multiple rounds of shots, resulting in a horrifying scene.
Even though the police force arrived at the crime scene shortly after the incident, the body was not immediately removed due to the tense atmosphere and the presence of agitated relatives and villagers. The community remains gripped by fear and anger, demanding justice and accountability for this brutal act.
This tragic episode serves as a reminder of the importance of addressing political disputes through peaceful means and the urgency of taking threats seriously to prevent such devastating outcomes in the future.
