At least two people, including a woman, were injured after shots were fired at Delhi’s Saket court on Friday morning, reports said.
A team of Delhi Police Crime Branch arrested the accused who opened fire in Saket court premises today, according to an ANI.
A rather peculiar angle to the firing case came to the fore, as Delhi Police revealed that the woman who was shot, was involved in numerous fraud cases in the past. The shooter, Rajendra Jha, was an advocate in Saket court and was in his uniform at the time of the incident
“The woman had taken money from the person (shooter) on the promise of doubling it, both of them had come to the court related to the matter. Several other cases of fraud are also lodged against the woman,” an ANI report quoted DCP South Chandan Chowdhary as saying.
The shooter had allegedly loaned Rs 25 lakh on interest to the woman and she was defaulting on repayment, a PTI report quoted the source as saying.
According to an eyewitness account, the accused fired four to five times before escaping through the canteen’s back entry, the DCP said, adding that the situation in the court is normal.
