According to a police source, “When Baliyan objected over drinking on the roadside, the two youths identified as Ravi Kumar and Pankaj Kumar got engaged in heated argument followed by the scuffle. The accused youths also called their associates to assault the cop. But as soon constable Abhishek and Vaibhav reached the spot to rescue their colleague, the accused youths snatched Baliyan’s service pistol and fired shot at him.”
