His Late Dad
The Teenager
m
A teenager has been accused of
posing as a lawyer, walking into a courtroom and carrying out a revenge
slaying, shooting dead a man he believed killed his dad. In a scene akin to a
Bollywood movie, Sagar Malik, 17, is said to have hatched a revenge plan after
his dad, Amitabh, 57, was found dead two years ago.
The older man was discovered beaten
to death at his home in Muzaffarnagar, India. Malik reportedly tracked down and
shot a man he held responsible for his dad's murder, after linking the crime to
a local mob boss, Vicky Tyagi, 38.
He was arrested and taken to a
juvenile detention centre, where he was informed by his fellow inmates that his
father had in fact been killed by Tyagi personally.
When he found out the crime boss was
going on trial for the murder of a policeman, he escaped and went on the run
until the day of the court appearance. He's then said to have carried out the
revenge slaying.
A police spokesman said: "This
was a well-planned and well-thought out execution. "He managed to get a
lawyer’s uniform and on the day of the trial walked into the courthouse
completely unchecked.
"He then sat in the courtroom
and waited for the accused to appear before pulling out a .30 bore pistol and
shooting the accused 17 times."
On hearing gunshots, police stormed
the courtroom, where they say they found Tyagi lying in a pool of blood with
Malik standing over him.
The spokesman added: "He didn’t
resist arrest and when questioned told officers he had done it to avenge his
father’s death, believing the accused was the man responsible."
Malik has been taken back to the
youth detention centre where he will be kept under tight security while police
and prosecutors decide the next step.
