New Delhi, April 29 (IANS) In a case of celebratory firing, a 54-year-old woman suffered gunshot injury at a marriage function in south Delhi's Chattarpur area.
A senior police officer said that a case has been filed in connection with the incident which occured late on Thursday evening. The injured woman is said to be the groom's aunt.
"On Thursday evening, we received a call from the Fortis Hospital in Vasant Kunj that a 54-year-old woman with a gunshot wound was brought there. When the police reached the hospital, the doctors said the woman was not in state to make a statement," the officer said.
During investigation, the police learnt that a marriage function was going on at the Matangi Bhavan in Chattarpur. The 'barat' came from Bahadurgarh, Haryana, and the injured was part of the barat.
"During the celebrations, someone opened fire and the bullet hit the woman. Before anyone could understand what really happened, she fell on the ground, writhing in pain," said the police.
Announcing to replicate the Delhi Model in the state, the Chief Minister said 117 government schools and an equal number of mohalla clinics will be set up with one each in every assembly segment across the state to impart quality education and the state-of-the-art healthcare facilities.
A spokesperson for the Chief Minister's Office said the move is aimed at sprucing up the health and education infrastructure of Punjab by replicating the Delhi model in both these core sectors.
After launching the web-portal amidst presence of DIG (Cyber Crime) Nilambari Jagdale and DSP Samarpal Singh, the DGP congratulated the entire team for developing this user-friendly portal, which could be easily accessed by anyone to report cyber frauds.
A division bench of Acting Chief Justice Vipin Sanghi and Justice Navin Chawla noted that the interim status report filed by the Delhi Police shows that the police force failed to prevent miscreants from reaching the residence of the Chief Minister and vandalising the area.
In a record, the Punjab Government said it cleared payments of Rs 13,000 crore of farmers for procurement of wheat till Monday, state Food and Civil Supplies Minister Lal Chand Kataruchak said. He said this was the highest payment in the past decade.
The victims, both from West Bengal, were rushed to the SMHS hospital in Srinagar, where the condition of one is stated to be critical while the other is stable.
