A local BJP leader - Dayashankar Gupta - was shot dead last night allegedly by three bike-borne attackers in Uttar Pradesh's Firozabad district. His party colleague, Viresh Tomar, and two of Mr Tomar's uncles - Narendra Tomar and Devendra Tomar - have been taken into police custody in the murder case after Dayashankar Gupta's family named them as suspects and alleged political enmity.
