Greater Noida, January 13: A former national-level boxer was shot dead in his apartment by unidentified men in Greater Noida's Surajpur locality on Friday. Boxer, Jitendra Mann was currently working as a trainer in a gym in Alpha 1. The body has been taken for post-mortem. An investigation is underway in the case.

Singh, who was a junior level national champion boxer, had gone to the gym on Wednesday and since then his mobile phone was switched off. The Gym's owner Pritam Tokas had found Singh shot dead in his flat after he went to see him.
