3 held for Ballimaran shooting
With the arrest of three men, the police claimed to have solved the Ballimaran shooting case in north Delhi about a week ago.
Two young men received more than ten bullets when they went to save their brother Sadiq who had married a local goon’s niece. One of them, Tariq, succumbed to his injuries later.
On Thursday, the police arrested Mohammad Saleem (32) Wasim (22) and Sanu (21) for their involvement in the shooting. Two others, including the main accused Zargham who is a notorious criminal of the area, are still absconding.
Sadiq married Rubina, the niece of a dreaded criminal Zargham, more than a year ago against her family’s consent.
The couple, fearing a threat to their lives, fled from the area. They returned a fortnight ago.
On July 8, Zargham cornered Sadiq in one of the alleys of Ballimaran. While Sadiq managed to escape the bullets, his brothers Tariq and Tayyeb received bullets.
