Man Shot by Two Assailants in Delhi's Sonia Vihar
A 34-year-old man, Manish Yadav, was shot by two helmeted assailants on a motorcycle in Sonia Vihar, Delhi. Police investigation is underway.
A 34-year-old man was critically injured after being targeted by two unidentified gunmen in northeast Delhi's Sonia Vihar area late Tuesday night. The attackers, who appeared to be planning a quick escape, fled the scene immediately after the shooting.
Attackers Fled on Motorcycle
The incident occurred on the night of October 13, with the alarm being raised at the Sonia Vihar police station around 9:13 pm. According to official reports, the assailants were riding a motorcycle and were wearing helmets to conceal their identities, making immediate identification difficult for witnesses.
The victim, identified as Manish Yadav, sustained severe injuries during the attack. His family members rushed him to the Shusruta Trauma Centre (AIIMS) in Civil Lines, where he is currently receiving medical treatment for his wounds.
Police Investigation and Forensic Evidence
Following the shooting, forensic teams were dispatched to the crime scene to collect vital evidence. The police have launched a massive manhunt to track down the perpetrators. North-East District DCP Rahul Alwal stated that multiple investigative teams have been deployed to solve the case.
"We have substantial leads regarding the suspected persons," the DCP noted, adding that the investigation is progressing rapidly.
A Pattern of Violence in the Capital
This incident follows a recent tragic case in Delhi's Tigri area, where a 30-year-old woman, Poonam, lost her life during a domestic dispute. In that instance, her husband, Kamlesh, allegedly fired a country-made pistol at her during an altercation while under the influence of alcohol. The suspect was apprehended on the spot, highlighting the ongoing challenges faced by law enforcement in managing violent incidents across the city.
