The gifted university student gunned down in front of his friends by a stranger had just been asked by him for the time.

Anuj Bidve responded politely but the man pulled out a gun, placed it against his head and pulled the trigger.

After the Indian-born electronics student, from a wealthy Delhi family, fell to the pavement, his two attackers fled into the night.

Mr Bidve – who had not been drinking – had strayed into a rough inner-city district in Salford during a night out in Manchester.

His friends desperately tried to give him first aid as armed police arrived at the scene and launched a widespread manhunt.

Witness Sheetal Patel, 25, said she held Mr Bidve’s hand as he lay dying in the street.

The cake maker had been driving past when the student’s friends waved down her car.

‘When we arrived at the scene, the guy was lying on the floor,’ she said. ‘I was holding his hand, but he was alive.

He was making noises. All I was saying is, “You’re very strong, you’re going to be all right”.

‘We just kept on trying to keep him breathing and to make him know that we were there.

There was one guy holding Anuj’s head trying to put pressure on the wound. And there was another guy who was on the phone to the police.’

Miss Patel said that ‘he was shot in the head, but the bullet didn’t go through his head’ and there did not appear to be an exit wound. ‘We all thought he was going to live,’ she added.

Just ..... tragic .....
