A 50-year-old man was shot dead by unidentified attackers in outer Delhi’s Paschim Vihar East on Friday morning, Delhi police said.

The incident occurred around 7.15 AM, when police received a PCR call reporting multiple gunshots near SBI Colony. Officers rushed to the scene and found the victim, identified as Rajkumar, with gunshot injuries. He was taken to hospital, where doctors declared him brought dead.

A forensic team has been called in to examine the crime scene. A case has been registered, and an investigation is underway, Delhi police added.

In a separate incident on Thursday, a 24-year-old man was shot following a scuffle in the Tigri area of south Delhi, an official said.
