A youth was killed while another suffered injuries when they were shot at by a group of unidentified men in south-east Delhi's Dakshinpuri on Saturday evening.
The police have ruled out the involvement of gangs active in the area and suspect personal enmity behind the incident.
The deceased, identified as Jeet, ran a tyre repair shop in G Block of Dakshinpuri and it was his shop where the incident took place.
The injured man, Nadeem, is said to be his friend.
Shooters on motorcycles
According to the police, the firing was reported around 7.30 p.m. when three to four men on two motorcyles arrived at the spot.
“Two of them got down from the bike and fired a few rounds at Nadeem and Jitu. Almost immediately they drove away,” said Deputy Commissioner of Police (South East) Romil Baaniya.
Rushed to hospital
Both the victims were taken to a hospital where Jeetu succumbed to his injuries. Sources said he had sustained four bullet injuries.
Nadeem, meanwhile, sustained a bullet injury in his leg and is currently under treatment.
A case of murder has been registered and further probe is on.
While the motive remains unknown, the police ruled out the possibility that either of the victim, or both, were linked to any gangs active in south-east Delhi.
