One miscreant was lynched by local people and another seriously injured after they fired at a former village pradhan and his brother in Ghazipur district today.
Four motorcycle borne miscreants opened fire at former village pradhan Manesh Jaiswal and his brother Vishwajit Jaiswal in Kasimabad area. The two were rushed to a Varanasi hospital in a serious condition, police said.
Hearing the gun shots, the locals rushed to the area and overpowered two miscreants and thrashed them badly, police said.
While one of the miscreants died on the spot another was admitted to the district hospital in a serious condition, police said, adding that hunt has been launched to nab the other two who managed to escape.
In 2014 an attempt was also made on Manish Jaiswal's life and the locals then had also lynched one of the attackers.
