At around 6:24 pm on Friday evening, the police received information about a young man being shot outside a farmhouse in Kanjhawala. Upon reaching the scene, the police found that Mukul, a resident of Chandpur, had been shot by the attackers, and his step-brother had been hit on the head with a pistol butt.

Mukul’s friend Ayush said that he was studying for a Bachelor of Arts degree at the Technia Institute of Advanced Studies in Preetampura. He explained that there was a farewell party being held at the institute, and there was a dispute over this. Some students had heard about the issue earlier in the afternoon.

The incident has once again raised concerns about the rise in violence in Delhi.

Many of these incidents are the result of personal disputes and disagreements that escalate into violent confrontations.
