An official said that the incident took place in the Furqania Masjid area of Shivaji Nagar when the woman, identified as Shifa Shaikh, left her residence after she was called to meet another woman,

As per sources, Shaikh and the suspect had an argument over an issue following which the suspect is believed to have fired a round.
Later, Shaikh’s family members were informed that she had been shot in the face and locals had rushed her to the Rajawadi hospital.
