Drunk 17-year-old misses target; man dies as plot to frame GF's kin goes awry
Representative image.
MEERUT:
Harsh Kumar
didn't plan to die that night. He planned to make a statement—loud, painful, and staged. Somewhere between desperation and drunkenness, the 21-year-old convinced a teen friend to help him pull off a bizarre scheme: get shot, survive, and blame it all on his girlfriend's family—people who he believed were standing between him and the woman he loved.
'Shoot me in the stomach. I want to frame her family for resisting our relationship,' he allegedly told the 17-year-old friend and drinking companion late on Tuesday. But the bullet didn't follow the script. It struck his chest.
On Wednesday morning, Harsh's bullet-hit body was found in an agricultural field in Meerut's Ganga Nagar area, with a country-made pistol lying nearby. SSP Dr Vipin Tada said, 'We rushed to the spot, identified the body, and informed his family.'
Harsh's family, residents of the same locality, immediately pointed fingers at the woman's relatives. 'They were against the relationship. They must have done this,' the family claimed.
However, six hours later, the story unravelled.
The Class 11 boy broke down during questioning. 'On the night of the incident, Harsh, who was unemployed, called him to the field after buying alcohol. Both drank together. Harsh wanted the juvenile to shoot him in a way that wouldn't be fatal.
But the bullet hit his chest instead of the stomach. He died on the spot. The boy was drunk when he pulled the trigger,' the SSP said.
The minor panicked and discarded the pistol near the body, tossed Harsh's phone onto the roof of a nearby tubewell, and fled—perhaps hoping the story would end there. 'The boy has been booked under BNS section 103 (murder) and sent to a juvenile home. Harsh and the woman were in a relationship for over two years,' Tada said.

Caste census: BBMP officer abused in HSR Layout
BENGALURU: The Zonal Commissioner of Bommanahalli Zone, BBMP, along with her team from the Revenue Department, was abused and threatened by a resident of a multi-storeyed residential complex in HSR Layout, 6th Sector, when they had gone to conduct a caste census. The incident occurred between 1.15 pm and 1.45 pm on Monday. The Zonal Commissioner has filed a criminal case against the woman for assault or use of criminal force to deter public servants from discharging their duties. Due to the commotion, other residents refused to open their doors. The officers had to summon the flat owners to convince their tenants to provide details for the caste census. The HSR Layout police have registered a case regarding the incident. A complaint has been registered against one K Pavithra residing in Flat No. 402 of the apartment located on 9th Main in HSR Layout, 6th Sector, by the Zonal Commissioner on Wednesday. 'The woman was very aggressive and abusive. We did not want to file a police complaint initially, but the woman was not apologetic. She claimed to be from Mysuru. As soon as she opened the door, she started raising her voice. If she was not interested, she could have simply said she did not want to share any information and closed the door. But instead, she continued abusing us. Because of this one incident, we could not collect information from others. There are around 10 flats in the complex. With no other option left, we had to report the matter to the police to ensure it wouldn't be repeated,' said an officer who was part of the team. 'The complaint was filed on Wednesday. The case is still under investigation. No arrests have been made. We have issued a notice to the accused,' said an officer. A case of assault or use of criminal force to deter a public servant from the discharge of duty (BNS 132), and intentional insult with intent to provoke breach of peace (BNS 352), has been registered against the accused.
