A 23-year-old man was injured after he was shot at by an alleged criminal in northeast Delhi's Dayalpur area.
The victim has been identified as Sahil, a resident of Nehru Vihar area.
According to a senior police official, Sahil had sustained a gunshot wound in his left leg and was admitted to the Jag Pravesh Chandra Hospital.
“Initially, Sahil accused two other persons for the incident, but when he was examined in detail upon being discharged from the hospital he told that a person named Farooq was behind the whole episode,” said the senior police official.
“Farooq is a criminal of the area whose motive was to implicate others in the crime. On Thursday around 5 pm, Farooq allegedly shot at Sahil and later informed the police himself. A case has been registered and probe is underway,” said the senior police official.
