The victim, Virendra Tyagi, was sitting in the verandah of his house in Adarsh Nagar Colony when the accused, Rampal Chaudhary, allegedly opened fire. Tyagi is in critical condition at a nearby hospital. Police said the two men had a history of minor neighbourhood disagreements. During questioning, Chaudhary claimed he was upset because Tyagi had accompanied census officials to his house and helped them with enumeration details. The weapon has been seized and an investigation is underway. ## Coverage - millenniumpost.in - indiatoday.in Tags: census dispute, Ghaziabad, Muradnagar, neighbour violence, police probe, shooting Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/census-dispute-leads-to-neighbour-shooting-man-in-ghaziabad/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
