A 29-year-old newly wedded Indian-origin man was shot dead in front of his wife in the US state of Indiana, in a suspected road rage incident. The accused shooter, who was initially detained at the scene, was later released indicating they may have acted in “self-defence” as the victim was carrying a handgun when he confronted the other driver in a pickup truck.
According to police and media reports, the incident took place last week on July 16 at an intersection in Indianapolis.

The man was from Uttar Pradesh’s Agra and got married to ZaMora on June 29, a little over two weeks before his death, local WTHR reports said.
