The firing incident took place around 9pm triggering panic among local residents.

The assailants fled after firing at the three men.

“The assailants entered the house and went to a room where the three victims were present with another man. One of them asked about the house of Satish. The owner of the house, Joginder, pointed to a photo of his father hanging on the wall. Suddenly, the two assailants whipped out their pistols and opened fire at the persons present in the room before fleeing,” said deputy commissioner of police (outer) Sameer Sharma.
