Summary
- A man shot his neighbor in the leg before dying by suicide.
- The incident occurred in the Johri Pur area of Delhi.
- Police are investigating the motive behind the shooting and suicide.
In a tragic event in Delhi's Johri Pur area, a man identified as Neeraj, aged 32, allegedly shot his 48-year-old neighbor, Rajwatii, in the leg. The incident, which occurred around 7:15 am, involved Neeraj using his father's licensed revolver. Rajwatii sustained a gunshot wound to her right leg and was admitted to Rajiv Gandhi Government Hospital. Following the shooting, Neeraj reportedly retreated into his home, bolting the door from the inside. Family members heard a gunshot, broke down the door, and discovered Neeraj deceased with a revolver nearby.
Preliminary investigations by the police suggest that Neeraj first fired at Rajwatii and then turned the weapon on himself, resulting in his death at the scene. A forensic team has since inspected the location and gathered evidence. A case has been registered under Section 109(1) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita at the Gokalpuri police station, with ongoing efforts to understand the motive behind this disturbing sequence of events. Neeraj's body has been sent for a post-mortem examination.
