Ghazipur, March 8 -- A 60-year-old Muslim man was shot dead on Sunday, March 8, after serving time in prison for a brawl that took place on Holi in Uttar Pradesh's Ghazipur.

Sonu, son of the deceased, Aas Mohammed, said the conflict on March 4 started over someone being splashed with Holi colours against their will.
