Revenge Plot: Delhi Police Arrest Two After Murder Accused Shot Dead in Wazirabad
Two men were arrested after a murder accused, recently released on bail, was shot dead in Wazirabad over a revenge plot from a 2021 case.
In a chilling case of retribution, the Delhi Police have apprehended the primary suspect and his accomplice for the brutal murder of a man in the Wazirabad area. The victim, identified as Ravi, was shot dead on Monday night in what investigators describe as a carefully planned revenge killing linked to a past crime.
A Fatal Encounter in Wazirabad
The incident unfolded around 11:00 p.m. near Gali No. 14 in Sangam Vihar, Wazirabad, in the vicinity of Divine Hospital. According to police reports, Ravi had spent the evening consuming alcohol with several acquaintances. Among them was Kamal Goswami, a man who appeared to be a friend but harbored a deadly motive.
The group had gathered inside a car, engaging in conversation while drinking. However, the atmosphere turned lethal the moment they stepped out of the vehicle. As Ravi exited the car, Kamal Goswami produced a pistol and shot him at close range.
An Emergency Response Vehicle (ERV) rushed the wounded Ravi to a nearby hospital, but he succumbed to his bullet injuries on Tuesday morning.
The Motive: A Debt of Blood
Police investigations revealed a dark connection between the victim and the assailant. Ravi was not an innocent bystander; he was an accused in a 2021 murder case registered at the Netaji Subhash Palace police station in the North West District. He had only recently regained his freedom, having been released on bail in October 2026.
The investigation uncovered that Kamal Goswami was a close friend of the individual who had been murdered in that 2021 case. Driven by a desire for vengeance, Goswami reportedly befriended Ravi to lure him into a vulnerable position before executing the killing.
Swift Police Action and Arrests
Following the shooting, the Delhi Police launched an immediate manhunt to track down the perpetrators. The operation led to the arrest of the main shooter, Kamal Goswami, and his associate, Monu. Both suspects are residents of Wazirpur.
Authorities have successfully recovered:
- The pistol used to commit the murder.
- The vehicle utilized by the suspects during the crime.
Further investigations are currently underway to determine the full extent of the conspiracy.
Separate Case: Murder Charges Framed Against Doctor in Domestic Help Killing
In another legal development, the Saket court has framed murder charges against Dr. Manish Gupta. Gupta was arrested in June 2026 in connection with the death of his domestic help, Meena Haldar, in the Mount Kailash area.
Details of the Mount Kailash Case
The incident dates back to June 18, when the body of Meena Haldar was discovered in a pool of blood on the rooftop of the accused's residence. It is alleged that the maid was stabbed to death by Dr. Gupta.
Additional Sessions Judge (ASJ) Anuj Agrawal framed the charges under section 103(1) of the BNS, citing evidence from the postmortem report and statements from eyewitnesses, including Kamini Arora and Vinay Kumar Arora. While the accused has pleaded not guilty and claimed a trial, the court has noted "grave suspicion" against him.
The court has also requested a detailed medical report from the Jail Superintendent following a plea from Dr. Gupta seeking specific medical treatment while in custody.
