A man was shot dead, while two others were injured, after two motorcycle-borne persons opened fire near Saket court complex. The incident was reported around 3.45 pm.
The police have reportedly identified the assailants but have not been able to arrest them so far. The incident is being seen as a fall out of inter-gang rivalry.
The deceased has been identified as Kapil Sharma (30). Sharma was a resident of Sangam Vihar. Delhi police have claimed that according to its records, Sharma had a criminal background.
At the time of the incident he was standing outside with some of his friends in a park in Sector 1 in Pushap Vihar, which is near Saket court complex. In the meantime, two persons riding on a black Pulsar motorcycle stopped near him. When Sharma tried to run away, the armed assailants shot him at point blank range.
‘The assailants were known to him and in the initial investigation it has come to our knowledge that the two groups had some personal enmity. On Thursday, the accused who have been recognised but their identity has not been disclosed were waiting for Sharma in Sector 1. The moment Sharma arrived and was having a chat with his friends, the bikers came and gunned him down,’ an investigating officer said.
At the time of the incident, Sharma was standing next to a parked Mahindra XUV car with his friends.
There was a quarrel between Sharma and the duo before he was shot dead. After the firing, some of his friends ran towards the assailants to nab them but the latter shot at one of Sharma’s friends and threatened the remaining of dire consequences.
The friend is in hospital, but doctors said he is out of danger.
