Daltonganj, January 25: There can’t be any more ironic than this when, in Amanchain (peaceful) Mohalla, a daylight shootout occurs where a marijuana addict fires at another marijuana addict.
It happened on Wednesday in Japla, about 80 km away from Daltonganj, when a 26-year-old young man, Gautam Singh, was shot at in his house in daylight.
Gautam Singh is said to be undergoing treatment in a higher centre in Ranchi after initial treatment here in Palamu.

The three other marijuana addicts identified as Deepak, Rishu and Sanjay, part of the team that made a bid on the life of Gautam, have been remanded in judicial custody today.
The bid on Gautam’s life was no freak shootout but a determined one as Gautam had a bullet shot in the chest and abdomen.
Police recovered the illicit weapon too used in the crime. The father of the victim lodged the FIR.
SP Reeshma Ramesan said there was a tiff over marijuana, which resulted in a shootout.
