ROHTAK: Three people were killed and a few others injured after some armed men opened fire on the family members of a wrestling coach in Haryana’s Rohtak on Friday evening.
The incident took place at the gymnastics hall of a private college.
“Three persons have died while some others are under treatment. We have formed teams to gather more information about the incident. As of now, there is no clarity on who opened fire,” Rohtak SP Rahul Sharma said.
