20-year-old UPSC aspirant Suleiman was shot dead in Bijnor, along with 21-year-old Anas whose son turned seven months old just a day after he was killed.

Posters of ‘wanted’ men come up in Meerut where 5 killed in violence during CAA protests.

These posters soon came up in all other districts too.
