College student shot dead by friend in Moga

Moga: A 21-year-old college student was allegedly shot dead here by his friend over his relationship with a girl, police said today.

Harpreet Singh, a student of Kotkapura college, was shot dead on Monday by his friend Amrik Singh, student of a college near Smalsar, while his friend Navdeep Singh sustained bullet injuries, the police said.
