A 70-year-old man allegedly opened fire on his neighbour and injured him outside the finance commissioner’s office in north Delhi’s Civil Lines after losing an arbitration case against him, the police said.

KK Sharma, who retired as a transport officer from Loni, had been fighting the arbitration case against Pradeep Behel over a housing society in west Delhi’s Vikaspuri for more than 15 years, they said.

Behel was admitted to a nearby hospital for treatment and is stated to be out of danger, a senior police officer said. “The accused was apprehended from the spot and later arrested,” said Deputy Commissioner of Police (North) Sagar Singh Kalsi.
