In the urban expanse of southwest Delhi’s Najafgarh, a distressing incident unfolded on Friday, wherein two individuals, Sonu and Ashish, both in their early thirties, met a tragic demise within the confines of a salon. The assailants, with a flagrant display of audacity, unleashed a barrage of gunfire upon the victims, amidst a captive audience comprising both customers and salon staff. Disturbingly, a circulating CCTV recording on social media captured the chilling scene, showcasing one of the victims desperately imploring mercy from the attackers, only to be met with a point-blank shot to the head.
Law enforcement reports affirm that Sonu succumbed to a single gunshot wound to the head, while Ashish endured a more sinister fate, enduring three bullet impacts to the cranium and one penetrating his chest. Initial investigations suggest a motive steeped in personal animosity, yet the specter of gang warfare looms as an alternate conjecture, as articulated by a discerning police official. Swiftly evading the crime scene, the two assailants vanished without a trace.
Post the harrowing incident, a palpable wave of anxiety gripped the locale, prompting an urgent PCR distress call. Responding to the exigency, three distinct police task forces have been mobilized with the mission to unmask and apprehend the elusive perpetrators. Additional details reveal a checkered legal history for Ashish, burdened with two extant criminal cases. Notably, both victims were denizens of Nagli Sakrawati in the Najafgarh precinct.
