A gym trainer accused of murdering a young woman was injured in a police encounter. He opened fire at officers while resisting arrest in Rajouri Garden. Police retaliated, and three bullets struck the suspect in his legs. Investigators are probing his social media activity and past criminal cases. The suspect had allegedly harassed the victim before her death.
Muskan Sharma, a 21-year-old model, was murdered in her home in west Delhi's Tilak Nagar on Wednesday. The accused, Mohammad Imran, also known as Aqib, was reportedly injured in both legs during a police encounter on Thursday night. Imran resisted arrest and opened fire at the police, leading to the exchange of gunfire. Seven rounds were fired by the police, with three hitting Imran in the legs.
He is currently hospitalized for treatment. Police are investigating whether Imran had threatened Muskan on social media before the murder and whether he had a history of criminal behavior. Imran was previously booked under the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (Pocso) Act in 2018 for sexually harassing a minor, and in 2021, he was involved in a culpable homicide case for assaulting a man.
