A 28-year-old youth died in Uttar Pradesh's Bulandshahr after suffering a bullet injury during a dispute between two parties, police said on Sunday.
The incident happened on Saturday in the district's Gulavathi police station area when a meeting was being held between two parties to settle a dispute regarding a hotel that was going on in the court.
Police said that trouble escalated during the meeting and firing took place all of a sudden.
"A youth who has been identified as Vikas was injured in the incident and rushed to a hospital in Noida where he died during the treatment," Secunderabad's Circle Officer (CO) Vikas Pratap Singh Chauhan said.
On the basis of a complaint submitted by Vikas's father Gajendra Singh, the Gulavathi police have registered a case under relevant sections.
Three of the eight accused named in the case have been arrested by the police, Chauhan said.
