Indian farmer shot dead in firing by Nepal cops © Provided by The Times of India PILIBHIT: An Indian farmer was shot dead and another critically injured when Nepal police opened fire along the international border in Uttar Pradesh on Thursday evening. While the farmers’ families said they had only been sowing the season’s sugarcane crop, Nepal police reportedly said they were “smuggling drugs into the country”. The body of the farmer, who was shot, is yet to be handed over by Nepal, where an autopsy will be conducted. It was around 7pm on Thursday that four men Govinda Singh, 26; Gurmej Singh, 30; Resham Singh, 22, and Pappu Singh, 26 were in the sugarcane fields of Bhoomi Dan village along the India-Nepal border in UP’s Pilibhit. “They were sowing the fresh crop when cops from the other side started firing at them. They ran for their lives,” Govinda’s father Gurdev Singh said. “Between border pillars 38 and 39, on no man’s land, my son was shot dead.”
