Two persons were shot dead and as many others injured when armed men opened fire at them while they were returning from a court hearing, said a police official on Tuesday. The incident, which took place near here last evening, appears to be fallout of a land dispute, he said.

Four assailants, armed with pistols and riding two motorcycles, opened fire at the victims, all related to each other, from a close range near a private school on Bhind by-pass road.
