A Delhi Police officer was shot at during a birthday party on Friday night in Rohini’s Samaypur Badli, the police said on Saturday. The accused is absconding.
The victim underwent an operation on Saturday and is stable.
DCP (Rohini) Rajneesh Gupta said Sub-Inspector Harish was shot at during the birthday party of his friend’s daughter. The police said it is unclear whether the firing was celebratory or intentional.
“Harish suffered two bullet injuries, one in the chest and another on the shoulder. Celebratory firing is usually in the air, so, it is unclear how the bullet hit his chest. There are leads on the accused,” Mr. Gupta said. A case under Section 307 (attempt to murder) has been lodged.
The police said that around 200 people who were at the party were questioned but “they were not forthcoming about the incident”.
