A man was killed and another injured in two incidents of shooting carried out by three juveniles within a span of 10 minutes in separate areas of Northeast Delhi early Saturday. All three — in the 16-17 age group — have been apprehended, said police.
The deceased has been identified as Nadeem (24). The police said that around 1.30 am, three bike-borne assailants arrived at Kabir Nagar and fired at three men — Nadeem, Aman and Shanwaz — who were on a scooty. Nadeem and Shanwaz were hit and rushed to the GTB hospital. “While Nadeem was declared brought dead, Shanwaz, who was shot on his right leg, is recovering,” DCP (Northeast) Rakesh Pawaria said.
Meanwhile, after the shooting, the assailants took Nadeem’s scooty and moved towards Kardampuri in nearby Jyoti Nagar.
Within 10 minutes, they opened fired in front of the house of a person named Rahul (24). “As per CCTV camera footage, the same people took part in both incidents of firing,” Pawaria said.
The police said the three accused had allegedly taken a loan from Nadeem, which they claimed to have returned with interest. “However, they claimed that Nadeem was asking them to pay additional interest and hence, they killed him,” Pawaria said.
The police said that the three juveniles were paid by a local gangster to open fire outside Rahul’s house. “We are trying to confirm the identity of this gangster,” an officer said.
