NEW DELHI: Intervening into a fight between a couple proved dangerous for a woman who was shot by the man in Delhi's Narela area on Saturday, leaving her critically injured. The 21-year-old woman sustained a bullet injury and is battling for her life in the hospital.
According to the police, the incident took place at around 10.05 pm on Friday night when Rachna (the victim) tried to stop the quarrel between Javed and his wife in Narela's Sector B2.
"During the initial investigation, it was revealed that the accused Javed left his wife at her parents home but late in the evening he returned to take her back forcibly. But as she refused a fight broke out between the duo," said a senior police official. The loud noises from the house caught the attention of the neighbours and a woman came to intervene in the fight.
"Soon after that, Rachna, a neighbour tried to intervene but the accused shot her and fled from the spot. Rachna is still undergoing treatment and she is out of danger," said the police official.
