Two men were arrested in southwest Delhi’s Satya Niketan area on Sunday night after allegedly firing gunshots outside a cafe following a heated argument with the owner over seating arrangements.
The incident occurred around 9 pm when the South campus police station received a call reporting the shooting. Deputy Commissioner of Police (southwest) Rohit Meena stated that beat staff from the police station quickly responded to the scene, leading to the arrest of one of the accused after a brief chase.
The arrested individuals were identified as Ahmed, 26, and Mangal, 26. According to DCP Meena, the altercation began around 8:30 pm when Ahmed and his associates entered the cafe for dinner. Ahmed sat at a glass table, which was objected to by the cafe owner, Rohit. This disagreement escalated into a heated argument.
As the situation deteriorated, additional men arrived at the cafe, leading to a physical altercation. During the fracas, one of the men allegedly fired a gun into the air outside the cafe. The incident caused panic but no injuries were reported.
Police have launched a case in connection with the shooting. Initial investigations revealed that the accused had traveled from Jahangirpuri to celebrate a birthday. Authorities are working to identify and apprehend additional individuals involved in the incident.
DCP Meena assured that all suspects have been identified and efforts are underway to apprehend the remaining individuals. The investigation is ongoing as police continue to gather evidence and statements related to the case.
