MEERUT, June 11 -- A decade-old feud led to a double murder in the heart of Baraut town of UP's Baghpat district on Tuesday evening, leaving a prominent local trader and his son dead inside their shop. The alleged mastermind behind the broad-daylight executions, a notorious history-sheeter identified as Varun Luhari, was subsequently lynched by enraged locals as he attempted to flee after the incident, said police on Wednesday. The victims, Sohanlal 60, a tent merchant, and his son Vikas Kumar, 28, were shot at close range inside their commercial establishment. A bystander, Rohit of Patti Chaudharan village, also sustained injuries after being struck by a bullet. According to police, the attack stemmed from a decade-old rivalry linked to the 2016 killing of Varun Luhari's brother, Kapil. Investigators believe Luhari, along with his associates, carried out the attack in retaliation for the incident. Residents chased and caught Luhari, bashing him before police intervened. Officers rescued him and rushed him for treatment, but he died on the way to Meerut Medical College. The remaining assailants managed to escape and are currently being hunted by police. Chief minister Yogi Adityanath sought a detailed report on the incident and directed officials to take strict action against all those involved. Commissioner Bhanu Chandra Goswami and DIG Kalanidhi Naithani also reviewed the matter. Investigators said the roots of Tuesday's violence lie in a major shootout that took place on July 17, 2016, near Delhi bus stand in Baraut. According to police, Varun Luhari, his brother Kapil and several associates allegedly opened fire at Vikas's establishment after being released on bail. Members of the trader's side reportedly retaliated using a licensed revolver. During the exchange of fire, Kapil was killed while Vikas and another trader, Rajesh Agarwal, sustained injuries. Several individuals from both sides were later jailed. The case remains pending before a court. The twin killings and the subsequent death of the main accused triggered tension across Baraut town. Additional police forces have been deployed. Meanwhile, members of the business community raised a series of demands, including a police encounter of the absconding accused, Rs.1 crore compensation for the victims' family and a government job for Vikas's widow....
