Man Killed in Shastri Park Shooting
A property dealer was allegedly shot dead by four assailants earlier this week, when he was out for a walk around 11 pm. The man had gone out for a walk after dinner. As he reached Bihari Chowk, he received a phone call. While he was still on the call, four men allegedly arrived on foot and opened fire at him.
Two days after the incident, the police formed a trap near Ajmal Khan Park in Rohini. Around midnight that day, three men riding a white scooty were intercepted and asked to stop.
The police said that after they surrounded the men, the suspects opened fire on the police team. Following this, the three accused were overpowered and arrested by their team.
