New Delhi: A 26-year-old man was shot dead by unidentified assailants in Dwarka's Baba Haridas Nagar area on Sunday night, with cops claiming they have arrested the culprit.
The deceased was identified as 26-year-old Jitender Kumar, who used to drive a private bus at the Gurugram–Bahadurgarh route for a living.
According to police, the incident took place around 11.30 pm on Sunday after Kumar left his house for work.
On his way, he was intercepted by three bike-borne men who fired over a dozen rounds at him from close range, resulting in Kumar sustaining six bullet injuries.
A passerby spotted Kumar and made a PCR call, after which he was rushed to hospital where he was declared brought dead.
Police immediately began investigation, and based on CCTV footage of the area and the statement of two eyewitnesses, they managed to trace the accused and arrested him.
The accused reportedly confessed to the shooting, claiming that there were tensions brewing between him and Kumar over getting passengers for their respective buses.
"The two would often fight for passengers on the same route. They would also get into physical altercations, which would be broken up by locals," said a police officer
