NEW DELHI: A man was injured in firing by unidentified assailants in the Kishangarh area on Monday afternoon.
Police said that the incident took place around 1 pm when the victim, Shafiq, and two others—Somraj and Krishan—were returning home in their SUV after attending a 2020 murder case hearing.
Somraj, who is the complainant in the present case, was one of the suspects in the 2020 murder case in which one Ashok Maan was killed.
Possibly, the attackers tried to kill Somraj but missed their target and Shafiq, who was driving the vehicle, got injured, said an officer.
When the SUV reached Kishangarh, it was intercepted by the accused and a total of four rounds were fired at the spot in which Shafiq received injuries on his temple and his hand. Somraj was sitting next to the driver seat and Krishan on the rear seat. “He was rushed to a hospital for treatment,” the officer said.
An investigator said involvement of three to four people in the attack was suspected.
“All angles are being probed in the case,” the cop said. Deputy commissioner of police (southwest) Gaurav Sharma said a case had been registered and the accused would be nabbed soon.
