Deputy Commissioner of Police (Dwarka) S.K. Meena said that accused identified as Naveen Kumar was arrested on Friday.
Inebriated state
During interrogation, Naveen allegedly told the police that “he had a small altercation with victim, Anuj Sharma, over a petty issue of playing DJ during the birthday celebrations. He was also in an inebriated state when he fired at Anuj”.
