"Soon after the marriage party arrived in the village, people accompanying Ashok stopped at a place to urinate, leaving him alone in a Bolero jeep. However, some unidentified people opened fire and killed him," deputy superintendent of police Rajesh Kumar said.

The officer said that a first information report (FIR) has been lodged with the police and an investigation into the case has begun.

Similar incidents have been reported from other parts of the state as well.
