Chandigarh, Feb 13 (IANS) Five people were shot dead and two, including a child, were grievously injured in a firing incident at a wrestling venue in Haryana's Rohtak town, the police said on Saturday. The dead included a wrestling coach.

An old enmity among wrestling coaches could have led to the crime that occurred on Friday evening.

The injured have been admitted to Post Graduate Institute of Medical Sciences in Rohtak.

The dead are Manoj Kumar, a resident of Saragthala village in Sonipat, his wife Sakshi, a wrestler, Pooja, wrestling coach Satish Kumar and Pradeep Malik.
