Karaya shoot-out: No arrests yet

Kolkata: The youth at Karaya was shot dead after an altercation broke out with one of his relatives on Saturday evening. Locals claimed that a person, identified as Sakil, was stabbed by the deceased, Shaikh Mayna, alias Minaz.

After this, Naushad came to the picture and shot dead Mayna for stabbing Sakil who happens to be the former's uncle.

After the preliminary investigation, the sleuths suspect there was enmity between Mayna and Naushad.

Locals claimed that Naushad's father used to sell alcohol illegally and Mayna had protested against it. Recently, Naushad became a part of illegal promoting activity that became rampant in the area. Mayna had also protested against it. For this, Mayna had automatically become Naushad's target for interrupting and interfering in his anti-social activities.

It was also alleged that Sakil and Naushad passed lewd comments at Mayna's wife on Saturday. As a result, they got involved in an altercation beside the rail line. Police have not been able to trace Naushad yet.

The sleuths are searching the possible hide-outs to nab him at the earliest.

Several persons have been detained and are being questioned in this regard.
