NEW DELHI: Three people have been arrested for shooting at and injuring a man in east Delhi’s Pandav Nagar. The incident took place on October 10.
The victim, Amit Kumar, is a resident of Ashram and had arrived at the police station after being shot. He was taken to a hospital by the cops and admitted for treatment. He was found to have sustained a bullet injury on his back.
“In his complaint, he stated that he was returning home from his office and had reached in front of Sanjay Jheel on NH-24 Service Lane, when two bikers came from behind and the pillion rider fired at him. As he fell down, the bikers fled,” DCP (east) Priyanka Kashyap said.
An FIR was registered and investigation taken, up but there were no leads initially.
However, the cops used technical surveillance and found that the shooters could be from Bareilly. The victim also gave some leads in this regard. Cops then arrested two men, Abhijeet and Sumit Gupta, from Bareilly.
During interrogation, it was found that the victim had given Rs 4.5 lakh to Gupta, which the latter could not return. So, he roped in two others and decided to eliminate the victim. The third suspect, Sumit Patel, was also arrested by the police. tnn
