About the lawyer killed by Bike-riding criminals
Gulzar Ahmed was 32 years old lawyer who practiced in a court of Kairana. He was returning to his village which was situated in Shamli. Two unidentified men on motorcycle opened fire at him at a close distance close to the district’s Adarsh Mandi region. Gulzar collapsed and passed away instantly. He was accompanied by a young lawyer, who was similarly roughed up.
Police said “The two individuals on the other motorcycle fired shots at Gulzar and I while we were both riding motorcycles. But, they missed. I sped up as I realised there was danger, but they soon started to pursue us. They shoved us along a lonely stretch, causing our bike to slip and us to fall. Then one of them took out a pistol made in their own country and shot Gulzar once in the chest,” Sachin recounted.
