Student shot dead at Army HQ in Bangalore
By Our Correspondent
NEW DELHI, Dec 28: Indian army guards shot dead a 20-year-old student at the Army HQ in Bangalore on Sunday and NDTV news channel said it appeared to be a case of mistaken identity.
It said the youth was apparently racing his bike on Mahatma Gandhi Road when he was given a chase by the police at 1am in the morning. But the young biker managed to dodge them.
He then appears to have jumped a wall into army quarters and was speaking into his mobile when he was challenged by the security personnel on duty.
They later opened fire and the student was hit. He was taken to hospital by friends but the doctors declared him brought dead.
NDTV said the youth was identified as Mohammad Mukaram.
