A 23-year-old BS Mathematics student at Udai Pratap Autonomous College in Varanasi was shot on campus on Friday afternoon, allegedly by a senior student.
The attacker fled the scene, leading to heightened tension and heavy police deployment.
The victim, identified as Surya Pratap Singh from Ghazipur, was reportedly in the Social Science faculty corridor when Manjeet Chauhan, an MA second-year student, allegedly opened fire before escaping with accomplices.
After receiving the information, police arrived at the scene and took Surya Pratap Singh to the BHU Trauma Centre, where he was declared dead.
Angered by the incident, students vandalized college property and raised slogans against the principal.
Given the gravity of the situation, police forces from multiple stations along with the PAC were deployed, turning the campus into a heavily secured zone.
The motive behind the murder is yet to establish, meanwhile the investigation is going on.
