A 17-year-old youth was shot dead over an alleged argument on offering prayers in a temple. The police says it was a dispute over a sum of Rs 5,000. There was an alleged dispute which took place when a Dalit boy was barred from entering the temple in a village in the Amroha district of Uttar Pradesh. The same day a complaint was filed with the police. The boy's father alleged that the upper caste villagers then shot his son over the issue. Police have arrested four people concerning the killing, and the accused have been remanded.

The Superintendent of Police, Vipin Tada, the police superintendent for Amroha, believes that the killing was related to a financial issue connecting the victim's brother and the assailants. He contradicted the victim's fathers' statement and said that the incident had nothing to do with caste bias but rather a dispute over a sum of Rs 5,000 and a contract about a mango orchard. The investigation is still ongoing, and the final report is still awaited.
