They said the two victims, one of whom was the driver of the e-rickshaw, were shot by people on motorbikes about 30 kilometers from the district headquarters.
Police said two men in an electronic rickshaw were shot dead on Sunday night in Sivpur Karamchand Pur tertiary section of Hastinapur district here, allegedly because of a second marriage with which people were not happy.
They said the two victims, one of whom was the driver of the e-rickshaw, were shot by people on motorbikes about 30 kilometers from the district headquarters.
Chief Inspector of Police Rohit Singh Sagwan said Surendra, 40, was driving his e-rickshaw while 3-4 men shot Arvind, 22, who was sitting inside as a passenger.
The agency added that they were taken to a nearby hospital, where they died of gunshot wounds.
According to a complaint filed by Arvind’s family, Arvind married a woman named Geeta in 2021 after the death of her first husband.
Gita married in 2002 to a man from Hastinapur who died in 2020.
After their marriage, the two start living together outside their village since Geeta’s children from her first marriage, as well as her son-in-law, are unhappy with the new alliance.
Arvind and Geeta’s brother claimed in their complaint to the police that Arvind was shot dead because of their marriage.
The Social Security Agency said that a case has been registered against Geeta’s sons and her husband’s nephews, and two teams have been formed to catch the attackers who transport their bicycles and others involved in the murders.
