A Muslim youth was injured in a firing incident in Haryana’s Nuh district after police personnel believed to be part of a Meghalaya Police investigation team allegedly opened fire during an operation in the area, while escorting a key accused in an ATM robbery case.
According to a written complaint submitted to Haryana Police at Pingawa Police Station, the incident occurred around 6 pm on March 10 near a hotel located on the Bhadas–Shikrava road in Shikrava village, Nuh district.
Muslim Youth Injured by Bullet
The complaint alleges that a police vehicle bearing registration number ML-05/S-4645, reportedly linked to a team from Meghalaya, stopped near the hotel where several local residents had gathered.
According to the complaint filed by Abdullah, a resident of Shikrava village, a man in civilian clothing stepped out of the vehicle and allegedly fired a shot without warning.
The bullet reportedly struck a Muslim youth, Tarif, son of Hameed, a local welder who was present at the location.
The complainant says that Tarif had been working at the hotel when the incident occurred and had no connection with the person who had allegedly been detained by the police team.
Tarif was taken to Nalhad Medical College by his family for initial treatment and later referred to PGI Rohtak for further medical care. His condition was reported to be stable at the time of filing the complaint, though he had sustained significant bleeding from the gunshot wound.
