A youth was shot dead in Bihar's Kaimur district today following an altercation with a man who objected to his riding his motorcycle fast.
The altercation had taken place at Sikthi village, near here, yesterday and the two had a quarrel this morning again during which the youth was shot at, superintendent of police Harpreet Kaur said.
The youth was rushed to the hospital by villagers where he was declared brought dead, the SP said.
Angry villagers then jammed the Patel chowk for hours to protest against the killing and lifted it only after intervention of senior officials.
The SP said the act was a purely criminal one and 12 people including the main accused have been arrested.
