Every Saturday, he flirted with danger

Bangalore:
In Bangalore's underground, nocturnal world of street-racing and stunts, 20-year-old Mohammed Mukarram Pasha was a bit of a legend. His friends have on their mobile phones video clips of Mukarram riding "wheelie" for several kilometers on various bikes.
Though his truck driver father and housewife mother disapproved, Mukarram found an excuse every Saturday night to slip away in a leather jacket and jeans, to flirt with danger on the streets. To many of his friends, Mukarram was the showpiece of the weekend stunt riding and driving.
Nobody ever imagined that the speed rushes could result in a bullet wound death for Mukarram — chased by traffic police and shot by an army sentry on the suspicion of being a terrorist, after he refused to turn himself in.
"He could perform amazing stunts on a motorcycle -- ride on a single wheel for three to four kilometres. He was a good athlete. We have a large collection of medals and trophies that he brought home. What can I say, he is gone now? He was a small boy not a criminal, they could have caught him," says Mukarram's father, Mushtaq Ahmed Khan, who was 300 km away, driving his truck when he was informed of his only son's death.
One of the last phone calls Mukarram made was a frantic one at around 1:20 am to his mother, while hiding on the roof of the residence of Brigadier P S Ravindranath, the army's sub-area commander for the Karnataka and Kerala region.
"He told his mother he had been chased by the police while riding a friend's bike and that he fell down and was hiding in the army property. He asked her to send help," says Arshad Khan, a 28-year-old first cousin who was contacted in the early hours of Sunday by Mukarram's mother.
"I was some distance away, so I asked another cousin, Imran, and some friends who were at an eatery nearby to go to help Mukarram in their car," says Arshad, who is shown in the records at the St Philomena's Hospital as the person who brought Mukarram in.
According to Imran and other friends, who reached the main road outside the Brigadier's house, Mukarram was clambering over the compound wall when they heard a sound like a firecracker from inside.
"Mukarram made it to the car and slumped in the arms of one of the boys who was sitting behind. He was not talking and there was some blood smeared on the friend's hands. They decided to go to the nearest hospital where they were joined by Arshad," says Saud Khan, an older cousin.
According to the hospital records, Mukarram was brought dead. The preliminary post-mortem and forensic reports said a single bullet of 5.56 mm caliber fired from an Insas weapon pierced the youth's body, rupturing his liver and heart. The approximate distance from which the weapon fired has been put down at 10 feet plus.
The bullet was fired by Havaldar Umashankar Sharma, say police records. Meanwhile the Army has ordered an internal inquiry into the incident. The Bangalore police have registered a case under IPC Section 448 for house trespassing and Section 103 'when the right of private defence of property extends to causing death, against the deceased.
The heightened security alert around the country after the November 26 attacks in Mumbai also triggered the action, police said. The shooting incident occured exactly three years to the day of a terrorist attack at the Indian Institute of Science in Bangalore.
. Quoting anjan again perhaps you could come up with a draft....
. In Bangalore there have been at least two cases where IAFP folks have shot dead (or severly injured) thiefs who used to enter an IAF camp to cut down sandalwood trees. There would be an initial hue and cry, but the police makes it clear that the thief was at a "wrong place at a wrong time" 
hmm, actions of few, cause the rest to bear the grunt!
