A 50-year-old woman was shot dead by a gang of four men on Friday night after an argument broke out between her son and the men over the latter loitering around their house in north-east Delhi’s Welcome area. One of the four men was arrested, the police said on Saturday.

Saroj Devi rushed out of her house when her son Raju screamed out for help after the accused started firing. Two bullets hit Saroj in the process.

The victim was rushed to a nearby hospital where she was declared brought dead.

Police said, Saroj used to sell illegal drugs like cannabis at her residence in Janta Colony where she used to live with her two sons.
