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.
Punjab BJP chief Ashwani Sharma said the alliance government will set up a special task force to probe the sacrilege incidents and fast-track courts to try such cases.
The ED on late Thursday arrested him after over eight hours of questioning. He was summoned for the second time. Honey was earlier summoned by the ED to join the investigation on January 23, but he skipped the first summon on health issues and did not join the investigation.
Leaving behind his celebrated tag of a top Punjabi rap singer with fans across the globe, singer-turned-actor-politician Sidhu Moosewala, who was booked for allegedly promoting gun culture and violence, takes pride in crediting his mother Charan Kaur, sarpanch of his native Moosa village, for making his electoral debut as a Congress candidate from Mansa for the February 20 Assembly polls.
With his assurance a power struggle is on between party state President Navjot Sidhu and Charanjit Singh Channi, the first Dalit Chief Minister of a state that is home to 32 per cent Scheduled Caste population, the country's largest, to be the chief ministerial candidate.
On checking their purses, polythenes containing off-white substance weighing 400 gms was recovered from the possession of Shivani, 424 gms was recovered from Kiran and polythene containing white substance weighing 439 gms was found with Preeti, said the police.
As a part of the tracker, a snap poll simply asked the respondents across all 117 seats in Punjab, if they feel that PLC-BJP-SADs alliance candidate is in "serious contest" in their own area. The results show that every third voter in Punjab believes that Captain is still very much in serious contest along with his new alliance partners.
