SHAHDOL (MP): An eight-year-old girl was today
shot at and injured by a person allegedly peeved over her for pouring
colour over him on the occasion of Holi at Parmaniya Khurd village here,
police said.

Shelly Gupta suffered bullet injuries in both her legs when a fisherman,
Mohammad Rashid of Singpur village, opened fire with his gun at a group
of children celebrating Holi as they had supposedly sprayed him with
