In Muzaffarnagar, Uttar Pradesh, a dispute over tobacco led to the death of a school teacher, who was shot by a “drunk” chief constable of the Uttar Pradesh Police, the police claimed on Monday.

The police crew that companied Kumar and a few other Varanasi officials included the chief constable, Chander Prakash.

According to Mr. Parjapat, on Sunday night, Kumar and Prakash got into a fight in the car.
