A 19-year-old man was killed allegedly in the presence of police during a dispute over a graveyard's boundary in Bara village here.
Yesterday, an argument broke out between two Muslim families when one started the construction of the graveyard's boundary wall and the other objected to it, the police said today.
SI Sriprakash Shukla and lekhpal of the area under Gahmar police station limits rushed there to resolve the matter by getting the land measured again, they said.
However, both sides entered into an altercation as the measurement work was going on and before the police could act someone opened fire killing a bystander, Amirullah Khan, they added.
The body was sent for post-mortem examination and an investigation was underway.
