Security guards shot and killed Aryan Mishra, a 12th class student, after mistaking him for a cow smuggler. Police arrested the five guards involved and seized the weapons used in the killing.
On the night of August 23, Aryan Mishra and his friends Harshit and Shanky drove out to eat Maggi. Around midnight, the guards received a tip about cattle smugglers in Renault Duster and Toyota Fortuner cars.
Spotting a Duster car near Patel Street in Faridabad, the guards in a Swift car chased it, believing it was involved in smuggling. Harshit drove the Duster, with Aryan in the passenger seat. Despite the guards signaling them to stop, Aryan and his friends kept driving, fearing an attack due to Shanky’s past enmity with others.
The guards chased the car for 30 km and then opened fire. A bullet struck Aryan. When the car finally stopped, the guards fired at Aryan again and fled. Aryan was rushed to the hospital, where he died from his injuries.
