Two juveniles apprehended for injuring 16-year-old over bike-related quarrel

In southeast Delhi, a 16-year-old boy sustained a firearm injury following a bike-related quarrel, leading to his apprehension by police on Monday. The incident occurred outside a general store in Jaitpur Extension Part-II on Sunday at 8:41 pm, according to the police. The injured youth, who runs a salon in Khadda Colony and is from Amroha, Uttar Pradesh, was brought to Safdarjung Hospital for treatment.

He was initially unable to provide a statement to the police due to being in the operation theatre, but an eyewitness statement was recorded later. Police learned of a previous altercation between two groups on March 5, where the victim sustained a scissor blow during the conflict, resulting in an FIR being filed. Officers suspect that the recent firing was perpetrated by two juveniles, aged 16 and 17 years, due to the longstanding enmity.

Evidence, including an empty cartridge and a bullet head, were recovered from the scene, and further investigation is being conducted to establish the full sequence of events.
