The incident occurred on Tuesday, at around 8.54 pm. BHD Nagar police station, in Jharoda Kalan, received a call stating, “Yahan Goli Chal Gai Hai [someone here fired a bullet]”. Upon reaching the spot, officials found that a 42-year-old woman had died of a gunshot wound.
Preliminary inquiries revealed that a person identified as Sumit had fired at the deceased and injured another victim, after which he had fled from the scene. Soon, officials received information that a man, identified as Kaptan, had been admitted with a gunshot injury.
