In a shocking incident a group of drunken Haryana policemen had shot dead a 22-year-old college student returning home on Sunday night.

The youth Kuldeep Kumar, a BA final year student of Vaish College and a resident of Dabra colony, was shot from point blank range.

While Kuldeep was returning on bike from a party at his friend's place, the unruly policemen asked him to stop Tosham Chowk in Bhiwani. But when he did not stop he was shot in the temple with a service revolver.

As the news of fake encounter spread, local residents began pelting stones at the police at Ghantaghar Chowk and set afire a motorcycle.

"Minutes after we rode on, a police gypsy overtook us and one of the cops disembarked from the vehicle and just shot Kuldeep dead. We were barely a km away from home.'' Said Vikas, brother of Kuldeep.

Authorities have suspended constable Karamvir, who fired the bullet. Three unknown people too have been booked.
