Two unidentified youths shot dead a 40-year-old man near Anand Talkies in the city over a minor tiff, police said today.
The incident took place yesterday evening when Ram Kumar, a Class-IV employee posted at the Panchayati Raj Department, was on his way to a Dussehra fair, along with his children.
As they neared Anand Talkies, a speeding motorbike hit him. When he objected to rash driving, two youths riding the motorbike whipped out a country-made pistol and fired at Ram Kumar from a very close range.
The duo fled the spot after the attack, leaving their bike on the spot. Ram Kumar was rushed to the district hospital but he died on the way.
Police said the bike of the assailants has been recovered and soon they would be arrested.
