Indian shot for public urination

An Indian man got shot in a brawl in the Indian capital, Delhi. The reason he got shot was because he was urinating near a petrol station. The man , Himanshu Sharma, only 20 years old, had gone to the petrol station near his house on Wednesday night, with some of his friends, when he got into a fight with the employees of the station.

In the beginning , the employees told the man not to urinate near the property of the petrol station. But the fight escalated and the petrol station's armed guard shot the man dead.
They said ,the men and his friends ordered some snacks when they arrived, they got into a little discussion about a minor thing and suddenly, the fight escalated and let to murder.

Spitting and urinating are a common side across India but it was the first time a man got shot over urinating in public. The government of Rajasthan tried already to stop the graffiti, the spitting and the urinating in public places. Recently,also Calcutta introduced measures to stop men urinating in public.

But what do I think about this?
I wouldn't like it when somebody urinates near my housedoor, but how low can you go to shoot that person because of this? I really hope the guard will be punished enough. He has to accept the consequences of his actions!

  1. I totally agree with Marieke her opinion about this story. Here in Belgium a lot of people urinate in the public and yes I agree that those actions have to be punished by the government. I'm very shocked by the idea that we have to kill eachother for uinating next to our door, I hope that the man will get a servere punishment.

  2. I also agree with the opinion of Marieke.
    Just because people urinate near houses, that doesn't mean that they can be shoot because of this!
    I also hope that the guard will be punished and will learn of his actions!
