New Delhi, Aug 2 (PTI) A 32-year-old shop owner suffered a bullet injury allegedly after a group of men opened fire at him in southeast Delhi’s Nizamuddin area, police said on Saturday.
A PCR call regarding the firing was received at the Nizamuddin police station at 10:08 pm on Friday. The incident occurred outside a shop named Qibla Perfumes, which is run by the victim, Furkan, and his two brothers, Waseem (33) and Abdul Khalid (30), police added.
Preliminary inquiry revealed that around 10 pm, their former tenant, Ehsaan, arrived at the shop along with a few associates and began a quarrel with Waseem, police said.
During the altercation, one of the accused pulled out a firearm and fired three rounds. Furkan suffered an injury to his leg during the incident.
He was immediately rushed to AIIMS Trauma Centre, where he is undergoing treatment, an officer said.
An inspection of the crime scene led to the recovery of three empty cartridges and two live rounds, police said.
According to officials, the victim and his brothers had recently asked Ehsaan to vacate the shop, which he had rented. He complied about 15 days ago, and the firing is suspected to be related to that dispute.
Legal action is being taken, and the accused have been identified. Raids are underway to apprehend them, the officer added. PTI SSJ APL HIG
