A soiree turned sour in Ranaghat on Sunday night when miscreants raided the venue resulting in the death of three persons. A huge police contingent was rushed to the spot.
The attack occurred a little after 9pm in Town Outdoor Ground near the Ranaghat Municipality where the programme was going on. The function was organized by a local magazine and more than a 1000 people had gathered to be a part of it.
Amid the function, the audience suddenly heard gunshots and ran for cover. Later, three youths were found slumped on the ground. Reportedly, two of them died on the spot while one succumbed to his injuries on the way to the hospital. Neither have the victims been identified nor was the motive behind the attack known.
