A 54-year-old e-rickshaw driver was allegedly shot at by two men following an argument in Shastri Park area of northeast Delhi on Friday, police said.

Ehsan, a resident of Shastri Park, told police that two men had boarded his e-rickshaw. When he asked them to get down, an argument broke out.

The accused allegedly opened fire at him before fleeing, he said.

One of the suspects was caught by a passerby, who allegedly manhandled him before handing him over to the police.

Ehsan was initially taken to Jag Pravesh Chandra hospital by his family members and later referred to GTB hospital for further treatment, they said.

Police said information about the firing incident was received during the early morning hours.

“A police team rushed to the spot and found that Eshan had already been shifted to the hospital,” a senior police officer said.
