Drug addict shoots class 6 student

Kanpur, Jan 28: In a gory incident where a man shot a class 6 student on January 19, it was revealed that the former was a drug addict and there was no motive behind killing the boy. He has confessed that he was jittery for not getting his daily dose of drugs and was looking for drug peddlers when he encountered the boy.

Heera (the boy) was repairing his cycle on Tuesday night when Shah Alam (the murderer) asked him to give way. The boy refused to budge and said that there was enough space for him to pass through.
