Jamshedpur, July 7: A youth was killed with a gun shot injury near Sakchi vegetable wholesale market at Tin Shed area on Wednesday afternoon. The youth has been identified as Suranjan Mishra, a BJP activist who was killed at the party office and as soon as the bullet sound was heard there was commotion and people fled from the office.Â
