In the heart of New Delhi, the life of a 24-year-old gentleman was abruptly extinguished, and another individual suffered injuries as a cohort of unidentified assailants unleashed a barrage of gunfire upon them in the Seelampur district on a fateful Saturday evening, as per law enforcement.
Sources indicate that the unfortunate victims, bearing the names Arbaaz and Abid, both hailed from the confines of Jafrabad in Delhi. The harrowing incident transpired proximate to a communal lavatory in the Brahmpuri Pulia sector of Seelampur, unfurling its tragic tableau at approximately 8:30 PM.
In the aftermath of this appalling event, a team from the Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) and the Crime Team diligently combed through the scene. A cache of ten expended casings (7.65 mm) was retrieved from the vicinity, while the scrutinization of closed-circuit television footage remained underway, according to official statements. It has been disclosed that a case invoking pertinent sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) related to alleged homicide, attempted murder, and violations under the Arms Act has been officially instituted against the yet-to-be-identified perpetrators at the Seelampur police precinct.
The tragic episode unfolded around 8:45 pm within the Seelampur expanse, where two young men fell victim to the assailants. Arbaaz, one of the unfortunate duo, succumbed to multiple gunshot wounds, strategically targeting the left temporal region of his cranium, chest, and abdominal region. Swiftly transported to JPC Hospital, regrettably, his demise was pronounced upon arrival. Meanwhile, the wounded Abid, aged 22, bore multiple gunshot injuries concentrated in the left temporal region of his head and the waist. Subsequently, he was referred to GTB Hospital for ongoing medical intervention, as disclosed by the Deputy Commissioner of Police for North East Delhi, Joy Tirkey.
Delving into the background of the deceased, it has come to light that Arbaaz carried a history marred by criminal involvements, amassing a tally of five registered cases encompassing charges of rioting, extortion, violations under the Arms Act, attempted murder, and homicide. In a parallel vein, Abid’s past reveals his entanglement in a murder case during his juvenile years in 2018, when he was under the age of 18, according to additional revelations from law enforcement officials.
