As the national capital celebrates Diwali on October 31, a double murder in Shahdara has shocked residents. Last night in the Bihari Colony area of ​​Shahdara area, a 40-year-old man and his teenage nephew were shot dead while his 10-year-old son was injured after two gunmen opened fire, an official said.

A CCTV footage shows that two miscreants came on a scooter, entered the house and fired five rounds. Eyewitnesses told police that the attackers touched Akash Sharma’s legs before opening fire on him. All the victims were rushed to the hospital.

Akash Sharma’s son Krish and nephew Rishabh, who were sitting nearby, were also hit by bullets. The three were rushed to a hospital where Akash and Rishabh were declared brought dead while Krish is undergoing treatment.

“On receiving a PCR call around 8.30 pm, a police team was dispatched. The team found blood at the spot,” said DCP Shahdara. Prima facie, it appears to be a case of personal enmity, the police said.

The statements of the family members of the victims will be recorded and further investigations are on, the police added.

According to an India Today report, Akash’s wife said she knew the attackers, adding that there had been a land dispute between them for many years. His brother Yogesh alleged that their family was falsely implicated last month after the accused fired at their own house, but filed a case against them. He also said that the police deleted the images of the incident from their phones and instead accused them of fighting.
