JAIPUR: Traders shut shop and ran away in panic as shots were fired outside a coaching institute in Sanganer area following a confrontation between a courier boy and the institute’s administrator on Monday evening.
A youth was injured in the firing as two groups formed during the confrontation and clashed with each other.
Police said they had registered a case and obtained CCTV footage of nearby areas to identify the people involved in the violence.
According to the police, a courier delivery boy identified as Hemendra came at 4.30pm to the coaching institute and met Prem Dhakar, the administrator of the institute.
