The warring factions are led by Sahil Kapoor and Gurjeet Singh. The former had lost to Gurjeet last year in the elections to the post of Youth Congress president of Atam Nagar constituency.

Last night, 25-30 youths belonging to Kapoor’s group gathered outside the house of Gurjeet’s brother. Some of them allegedly fired four shots into the air before fleeing.

Station House Officer Surinder Chopra said all accused were absconding.
