A man was killed in Delhi’s Narela neighborhood, and the city police are investigating the circumstances surrounding the fatal shooting, the police chief said.
According to Delhi Police, the man sustained gunshot injuries in Narela. Police confirmed that the victim died as a result of the shooting, but the identity of the shooter and the reason for the attack and the exact sequence of events were not known so far.
The police said the death is being investigated carefully from a range of angles, and investigators are looking for other possibilities before coming to any conclusion, they said.
Evidence from the scene, conversations with those who saw the incident, and any other clues are to be gathered and reviewed for possible angles of investigation.
At present, we do not know what motivated the shooter. We also don’t know whether it was a personal issue, a rivalry, a criminal struggle, or something else. We will know all this later.
Gun violence in the capital is the type that usually brings heavy attention from the authorities in the area when it happens in residential and/or populated areas.

They closely observe what is happening in such cases and judge whether the shooting is an isolated incident, or some kind of incident or a bigger conflict or criminal activity.
Investigators can also examine surveillance camera footage from nearby roads and buildings, depending on available recordings in the area.
Such information would give a sense of the victim’s movements and suspects’ movements before and after the shooting.
The latest police statement is limited in scope and more details are still to be forthcoming. The identity of the deceased, information about possible suspects, and whether any arrests have been made so far are not known.
Police are still investigating and more information will be provided as more facts are established. People should not base their decisions on unverified information, and a good deal of the investigation is ongoing, officials said.
The Narela shooting is the latest such incident to highlight law and order issues in Delhi. But the exact circumstances of the death will only become clear after investigators have done their initial assessment and established the evidence from the scene.
Further updates will be given by Delhi Police in this case.
