Man opens fire at lover’s kin, but injures his driver

Gurgaon: A man opened fire at his lover's relative and the bullet hit the latter's driver in Anjana Colony area on Sunday night. The victim's condition is stable, according to police.
Accused Kapil, who hails from Motla Khurd area near Najafgarh in Delhi, is on the run. Police said Kapil was in love with a woman from Gurgaon. Her brother-in-law Vicky, who came to know about the affair, "sternly advised his sister-in-law to stay away from Kapil," they said.
"As his lover stopped communicating with him, Kapil made personal enquiries and found out that pressure from Vicky was the reason," a Sector 10 official said. "Enraged with Vicky for becoming a hurdle in his love affair, Kapil went to the latter's house in Anjana Colony on Sunday night at around 10.30 pm along with two other associates in a car. Kapil spotted two men standing near Vicky's house and enquired with them about the whereabouts of Vicky," police said.
The two men standing outside the house were Vicky's brother, Dinesh alias Monu, and Vicky's driver Amit. "When Kapil asked for Vicky, Monu introduced himself as Vicky's brother and asked Kapil what he wanted from him," police spokesperson Sandeep said, adding, Kapil, who was in the driver's seat of a car, suddenly pulled out a firearm and opened fire at Monu. "Kapil fired five rounds and one of them hit Amit, who was standing next to Monu, who remained unharmed. After firing multiple rounds, the accused sped away," police said. Monu rushed Amit to a nearby private hospital for medical treatment. "The bullet hit Amit's leg. He is undergoing treatment," ACP West Shiv Archan said.
Sector 10 police registered a case under Section 109 (attempt to murder) of the BNS and the Arms Act on Monday.
A manhunt has been launched, police said.
