Journalist, brother shot dead in UP

Unidentified gunmen shot dead a journalist and his brother when they were going to their village in Sultanpur district of Uttar Pradesh, a police spokesman said in Lucknow on Monday.

Sahdeo Sharma, working with a Hindi daily, and his brother were killed near Jagdishpur Industrial area on Sunday, he said.

One of the assailants was later killed in an encounter with the police, the spokesman said.

Old enmity was stated to be the cause of the killing, he said.

Agitated over the murder, villagers blocked the Lucknow-Sultanpur national highway but dispersed later, he said.

Unidentified assailants had gunned down Jansatta Express reporter Paritosh Pande at Gomtinagar area of Lucknow in May.
