Two women were shot dead by unidentified men in Delhi’s Ambedkar Basti area of RK Puram Police station limits on Sunday early hours. Police said that despite being taken to the hospital immediately after the incident, both women died from their injuries. Manoj C, the deputy commissioner of police for South West Delhi reported that at 4:40 am, the RK Puram police station received a call reporting that someone had shot the caller’s sisters.
According to the police, the case seems to be related to money settlement. Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal expressed his condolences to the family members of the deceased ladies and hit out at the centre on raising crimes in the national capital.
The police haven’t identified the two killers who are absconding as of now. A police squad responded to the call and arrived at the scene where it was found that two women, Jyoti (29) and Pinky (30) had been shot by the assailants. They were taken to SJ Hospital, but unfortunately, they passed away due to their injuries.
Primarily, it appears that the gunmen were seeking the victim’s brother and the shooting appears to have been encouraged by a dispute over money, but the precise reason won’t be known until a thorough investigation is complete, according to the police official.
Police are trying to apprehend the accused in connection with a case that has been filed under the relevant section.
