NEW DELHI: Following a dispute over parking of a motorcycle, two men allegedly shot dead a 27-year-old businessman in Dabri area on Friday. The man who died has been identified as Afroz Alam, a resident of Dabri.
The incident took place around 10.30 pm when Alam, whose father runs a garment factory, was present at the factory in Mahavir Enclave part two. According to the witnesses, Alam had got some material delivered to the factory and had come down to receive the same when he saw two men on a motorcycle sitting in front of the entrance of the factory. "When Alam asked them to move aside, the two men, who were reportedly inebriated, refused to obey. This led to an argument, which soon turned into a fist fight. During the fight, one of the two men took out a pistol and shot Alam in his head. As Alam collapsed, the two men sped away," said a senior police officer.
Locals and factory workers, including Alam's elder brother, took him to Deen Dayal Upadhyay Hospital where the doctors declared him dead.
Deputy commissioner of police (Dwarka) Shankar Choudhary said that a case of murder had been registered based on the statement of Alam's brother. "Multiple teams have been formed and raids are underway to arrest the two suspects who are absconding. Initial inquiry has revealed that the reason behind the murder was parking of motorcycle in front of the gate of a factory run by the deceased man’s father. Further investigation is under progress,” the DCP said.
