A 24-year-old man was injured after being shot at by two unidentified motorcycle-borne assailants in Delhi’s New Usmanpur area, police said on Monday.

The incident occurred on Sunday evening when the victim, identified as Abdul Wahid, was returning home on a scooter along with his cousins after closing his shop in Gandhi Nagar, they said.

According to the police, Wahid, a resident of Jagjit Nagar, was riding the scooter with his cousins Kalam (24) and Zahid (13) when two men approached them near 2nd Pushta.

“The assailants allegedly opened fire at him with a pistol before fleeing the scene. After the gunshot, Wahid’s family members rushed him to the JPC Hospital, where his condition was said to be stable,” said the police officer.
