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.
The anti-encroachment drive began in the violence-hit Jahangirpuri area at around 10.40 a.m. in the morning. The first demolition was of a tobacconist's shop and then the JCB proceeded further to demolish another juice-cum-tobbacco vendor next to it. A double storey scrap dealer's shop was also razed to the ground.
In the run-up to the Assembly elections in Punjab earlier this year, Vishwas, without naming him, had said that Arvind Kejriwal wants to be the Prime Minister of an independent nation of Khalistan, accusing the AAP convenor of having connections with separatists in Punjab.
Talking to the media at Gurdwara Rakabganj here, Badal said the AAP had again started befooling Punjabis in its age-old tradition. The Punjab Finance Minister had now announced that the state's river waters would not flow into Haryana.
According to the police, acting on a tip-off, a joint team of Sector-40 and cybercrime police stations raided a call centre running in South City Phase-1 and arrested 11 persons, who used to allegedly cheat residents of the US and Canada.
Guru Tegh Bahadur, also known as Hind Di Chadar, stands as a shining symbol of the country's great pluralistic tradition and secularism, and his supreme sacrifice forms an important part of India's history. According to the Chief Minister, Haryana shares a special bond not only with Guru Tegh Bahadur but all 10 Sikh gurus as most of them travelled across the state.
The delegation has demanded that the police should avoid unilateral action and arrest the culprits as soon as possible, and take stern action against whoever is guilty without any discrimination.
