The president of the Akhil Bharatiya Hindu Mahasabha's Uttar Pradesh unit was shot dead by two motorcycle-borne men in the heart of Lucknow's Hazratganj area on Sunday morning.
Ranjeet Bachchan, a resident of Gorakhpur district, was on a morning walk along with another person when the men fired at them near the Central Drug Research Institute (CDRI) building in Hazratganj.
Bachchan died on the spot and the other person was critically injured. He is undergoing treatment at the trauma centre of King George's Medical University (KGMU).
This is the second killing of a right-wing Hindu leader in the state capital in the recent past.
Kamlesh Tewari, the national president of the Hindu Samaj Party, was killed at his Khurshed Bagh residence in October last year.
