"At around 10:30 pm I heard a shout and noise of bullet firing from outside. I rushed to see a confrontation between the two groups. Several bullets were fired between the two sides and Dharamvir Nonia was shot in the chaos. His younger brother was yelling and crying," Bishun Dev Nonia, TMC leader, told ANI.
"Two people were seriously injured. One of them was hit by an iron rod. The administration should take strict action against this violent clash," Nonia added.
"Dharamvir Nonia was receiving death threats for 4-5 days. I requested him to stay indoors since these people are very dangerous. During the confrontation yesterday, the firing started off suddenly and he was shot," Satyanarayan Nonia, a relative of the late Dharamvir Nonia, said.
