India. A man lay on the ground as his friend fired three bullets at him in Uttar Pradesh's Meerut, only to stop when an accomplice recording the incident asked him to "drop it".

A chilling video of the shooting was then uploaded online, raising serious questions about law and order in the city.

The video shows Adil being shot 3 times in succession in the chest by his own friend on Wednesday. A voice in the background can be heard saying, "Drop it". And then, the accused leave the spot on a motorcycle.

Adil's body was later found near a tubewell and it was verified by the police that he was the man who was shot in the video. Police are still verifying if Adil was unconscious before being shot or whether the video was recorded after he had already been killed.

Police say this is the first case in Meerut where a murder was filmed and deliberately made viral, in an apparent attempt to create panic. Six accused are named in the case filed by Adil's family.

Meerut Police said, "We are probing the reasons behind the murder and why the accused chose to make the video viral."

The SSP also noted that the deliberate filming and circulation of the act raise concerns that organised gangs may be behind such attempts to openly challenge the police.

On the same day, two more murders were reported in different parts of Meerut.

Oh that's such a shame.

[docfr8]

He already succumbed to something before these shots were fired

Well, that's one way to unfriend someone.

[HIGHTECHDUDE]

Yeah, with friends like that —
you know the rest...

[rhubarb_king]

That's got to be the mother of all "silent treatment" when pissed at a "friend".

Why u do that man

[Mr.NoCredit]

I wonder if in a few months or a few years if he’ll think it was worth it. You know, spending that time in prison for murder..
