In Sahibabad on Friday, a 22-year-old man, Ayush Valmiki, was fatally shot amid a contentious property dispute. Valmiki, a resident of Gokulpuri, Delhi, was reportedly overseeing a plot near MMX mall on GT Road, which had been purchased by Pinky Chaudhury. The disagreement arose over an adjacent green belt area, claimed by the seller, Nomita Sharma.
During an argument where work was being conducted on the plot by Chaudhury's son, Surya, and associates, Nomita Sharma's acquaintance, Rahul Sahni, arrived with others. According to Surya's statement to the police, Sahni began hurling abuses and then fired shots, one of which struck Ayush Valmiki in the chest. The confrontation led to Sahni's revolver being taken and him being beaten before the police arrived.
Ayush Valmiki was transported to a hospital where he was pronounced dead. An FIR has been filed against Rahul Sahni, Nomita Sharma, Naresh Aroda, Rahul Sharma, and unknown individuals under various sections of the BNS, including murder and rioting. Sahni, who allegedly fired the fatal shot, is currently receiving medical treatment in the hospital, and teams have been formed to apprehend the remaining accused.
