Kolkata: A 19-year-old boy was shot at on Saturday after he protested against a group of four drunk men sexually harassing a 9-year-old girl in Kolkata.
The incident took place at around 2 pm outside a park in Barangar, Kolkata, when four men on bikes started harassing the girl.
When the girl protested, Mangal Sardar came to her rescue and a verbal altercation between Sardar and the drunk men followed. The men then shot Sardar on the arm before fleeing.
