MAN DIES OUTSIDE ATM IN CHINHAT, FAMILY CRIES FOUL

LUCKNOW:A 25-year-old man died under mysterious circumstances after being injured outside an ATM in Chinhat on Thursday night, police said.

He was rushed to the hospital where he was declared dead by doctors.

The deceased has been identified as one Pavan Gautam of Vimalnagar of Kamta area.

Enraged over the death, Pavan’s family members and relatives protested against the police on Friday.

They kept his body on road and alleged that police failed to prevent the incident and arrest the accused.

The family members have accused three people known to Pavan for his death.

The family has claimed that Pavan was thrashed by the accused which resulted in his death.
