Meerut, Feb. 26 -- A 28-year-old man was shot dead in broad daylight in the middle of a busy marketplace in Ramraj area near the district border on Wednesday afternoon. Police suspect it to be a revenge killing linked to an alleged extramarital relationship. The deceased, Surendra Singh, a resident of Jagjeevan Puri locality in Ramraj, was passing through Bahsuma Market on his motorcycle around 2:30 pm when a lone attacker arrived on another bike and opened fire. The assailant first shot Surendra from behind, striking him in the lower back. As he collapsed onto the road, the accused ran toward him, pressed a pistol against his temple, and fired a second shot, killing him on the spot. Witnesses said the attacker shouted loudly after the first shot, daring anyone present to save the victim before firing again. The shooting occurred outside the Sanatan Dharma Temple, causing chaos as shoppers and passersby fled in panic. People nearby rushed to help and took Surendra, who was bleeding heavily, to a hospital. Doctors declared him dead on arrival. Police officers, including superintendent of police (rural) Abhijeet Kumar, reached the scene shortly after being alerted. Investigators questioned market vendors and witnesses and issued instructions to forensic and field teams. The body has been sent for post-mortem examination. According to preliminary police findings, Surendra had allegedly eloped about one and a half years ago with a married woman from a village in the Falawda police station area. He was reportedly planning to marry her in court. Investigators believe the woman's husband had been waiting for an opportunity to take revenge since she left him. Police said the suspect and Surendra had previously argued publicly in a market over the woman. Officials suspect that the husband carried out the killing when he found Surendra alone. Authorities noted that the crime scene lies close to an administrative boundary: Ramraj town falls in Muzaffarnagar, while Bahsuma police jurisdiction comes under Meerut, adding complexity to the probe....
