Dalit engineer shot at UP

A Dalit engineer was on Saturday shot at by three unidentified
motorcycle-borne assailants while he was going to report for panchayat
poll counting duty in Uttar Pradesh's Bahraich district.

Ashok Kumar Kannaujiya (44), a junior engineer of Mandi Parishad, was
shot at by three unidentified youths on a motorcycle at Chotti Bazar
in Kotwli area when he was on his way to report for counting duty at
Visehwarganj block, police
sources said in Lucknow.
The JE, who was hit in the chest, was rushed to the district hospital
from where he has been referred to a trauma centre in Lucknow in a
serious condition, the sources said.
Official rivalry appears to be the reason behind the attack, they said.
A case has been lodged against three persons, including a junior
engineer in the same department Jagdish Rao, Udayveer Singh and Arun
Singh on the basis of the victim's statement, police said, adding that
Rao had been arrested.
Kannaujiya told police that an inquiry on charges of corruption was
being conducted against Rao and contractor
Udayveer.
He said that the duo suspected that inquiry was ordered on his initiative.
