A 23-year-old man sustained bullet injuries after being fired upon allegedly by an acquaintance over a financial dispute at Adarsh Nagar, Delhi Police said on Friday.

Om Garg, a resident of Adarsh Nagar, was rushed to the Max Hospital with gunshot wounds on his left shoulder and near the neck, a senior police officer said.

A PCR call regarding a firing incident was received at Adarsh Nagar police station at 9:50 pm on Thursday. Upon reaching the spot near a Delhi Jal Board office, police found the injured had been taken to a hospital.

“During initial probe, it was found that Garg had a monetary dispute with a person named Anmol. On Thursday night, Garg, accompanied by five to six of his friends, confronted Anmol near the DJB office over the issue.

“In the middle of the argument, Anmol allegedly took out a pistol and fired at Garg before fleeing from the spot,” the officer said.

Police have formed teams to trace and arrest the accused, he added.

Illegal construction surges on Yamuna floodplains despite court orders

Despite multiple court orders banning any form of construction or dumping, illegal activities continue unabated across the Yamuna floodplains in Delhi. Permanent structures are being erected, demolition and construction waste is being dumped indiscriminately, and heaps of silt and garbage are accumulating — all under the gaze of an administration that environmentalists describe as wilfully apathetic.

The South Asia Network on Dams, Rivers and People (SANDRP), a water advocacy group and think tank, has written to Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, Lieutenant Governor Vinai Kumar Saxena, and other concerned officials, seeking immediate intervention to stop these activities, which it says pose a serious ecological threat.
