The victim, identified as Manav Singh (20), got into a fight regarding some money taken by another friend from the accused.

According to the police, the fight broke out between Manav and the accused after a friend of Manav allegedly took money from the accused and failed to return it. During the argument, the accused pulled out a pistol and fired three shots at Manav.

He was rushed to a hospital where he is undergoing treatment. “A case under the relevant sections has been registered. We have zeroed in on the accused, who will be arrested soon,” said DCP South East Hemant Tiwari. He said the crime team recovered empty cartridges from the spot.

AAP Delhi chief and Kalkaji MLA Saurabh Bharadwaj visited the locality after the incident. He said: “I went to Kalkaji. People are scared there. No such incident has happened earlier. A few months ago, in GK 1, such an incident happened. The BJP is having a four-engine government in Delhi. They should do some work in this regard so that the people of Delhi can feel that some work is being done.” Further investigation is still ongoing.
