An 18-year-old youth in Begusarai narrowly escaped death when he was allegedly shot by his friend for refusing to participate in a theft. The incident took place late on Saturday night in Muzaffara village, within the Birpur police station area.
The victim, identified as Ajit Kumar Sahni, was reportedly sleeping on the premises of a local temple near his home when the accused, Sujit Sahni, approached him.
