1 dead in fresh violence in strife-torn Bareilly

A youth was today killed in fresh violence in the strife-torn town after a lull of two days when members of two communities clashed at a place under Baradari police station, hurling brickbats and opening fire.

Police said the incident took place in Jogi Newada locality in which Imran (20) was hit by a bullet and later died at a private hospital.

District Magistrate Manish Chauhan, however, said Imran was killed in a clash related to election rivalry.
