NEW DELHI: Three people, including two brothers, have been arrested after a man in Delhi shot himself in leg to allegedly frame his rival.
The incident took place on Thursday in Kardampuri area, and it was reported at Jyoti Nagar police station in northeast Delhi, in which the victim was taken to GTB Hospital by his brother.
The accused have been identified as Waseem, his brother Fahim (32) and their associate Sahil (23). Delhi police also seized one country-made pistol from their possession.
“Police team reached the hospital and started an investigation into the matter. However the victim didn’t give his statement. Accordingly, a case under sections 307/34 IPC and relevant provisions of the Arms Act, was registered,” reported PTI quoting deputy commissioner of police (northeast) Joy Tirkey.
During investigation, a person named Bhura was apprehended who said that he was released from jail some days ago.
Later, police questioned the brother of the victim, Fahim, and it was revealed that they wanted to set score with Bhura by implicating him in a false case.
“Along with a friend, namely Sahil, they hatched a conspiracy and searched for a place which is out of CCTV camera range,” said the DCP.
Around 9 pm on Thursday, the trio allegedly intercepted Bhura, and Sahil caught hold of him from behind. Fahim allegedly handed over the country-made pistol to his brother Waseem who shot himself in the left leg and returned the weapon to Fahim, but during the scuffle Bhura freed himself from the clutches of Sahil and fled, police said.
