Luv Kumar was shot dead by the three youths, aged 18-19 years, in Aurangabad town, some 400 km from Lucknow.

“Preliminary investigations indicate that Luv had an argument with three of his friends while playing a cricket match with them.

“One of the three teenagers has been arrested. He has confessed to his crime,” added Kumar.

The other two are absconding, he said.
