**Headline:** Man in Gorakhpur Arrested After Shooting Friends Over Weight Teasing Incident
In a shocking incident in Gorakhpur, Uttar Pradesh, a man named Arjun Chauhan chased down his two friends, Anil and Shubham, for 20 kilometers before shooting them. This violent act stemmed from humiliation Arjun felt after they made fun of his weight during a party at the Tarkulha Devi temple on the evening of May 2.
According to police reports, Arjun attended the party with his uncle, where he was subjected to ridicule by Anil and Shubham. “During the meal, they made fun of my weight, and I expressed my displeasure. However, others joined in the laughter,” Arjun recounted to the authorities. Despite attempts by others to diffuse the situation, Arjun felt deeply humiliated and decided to take revenge.
After confiding in his friend Asif about the incident, the two plotted their retaliation. Knowing that Anil and Shubham were heading towards Manjharia, Arjun and Asif pursued them on the highway. “We tried to stop their vehicle, but they sped ahead. We decided to follow them for about 20 kilometers until we caught up near Tendua Toll Plaza,” Arjun explained.
