“It appears that Mishra had some quarrel with them and they shot and killed him. After that they drove the car for over a km before abandoning it and fleeing,” Rewa’s Superintendent of Police Shahid Ansar told IANS.

“Mishra received gunshot wounds on his neck,” Ansar said adding that the police have sealed the area, registered a case of murder and are looking for the assailants.
