The incident which took place only a day before the polls in Pratapgarh caused panic in the area and senior police offi- cials rushed to the spot. As per the reports, the deceased, Chandan Singh (30), a resident of Sangrampur Qila area, was a government contractor who used to run a small hotel near the ARTO office in Antu. On Saturday Chandan and his aide, Dharmendra Singh, were sitting at the hotel when the unidentified motor- cycle-borne desperadoes opened fire at them from a close range. Chandan sus- tained a bullet injury in his chest while Dharmendra was hit in his back. The assailants absconded from the spot before the hotel staff could react, Superintendent of Police (SP), Pratapgarh, S Anand, said. The victims were rushed to the District Hospital where Chandan Singh was declared as brought dead. The doctors referred Dharmendra to the Swaroop Rani Nehru Hospital in Allahabad. Meanwhile, two minor kids were charred to death while four of their siblings had a narrow escape when the thatched roof of their house caught fire and fell on them in Patti area of Pratapgarh on Sunday.
