A violent property dispute culminated in a fatal shooting in the national capital, with police apprehending two individuals who surrendered and confessed to the crime. The incident, which has sent shockwaves through the locality, occurred in Outer Delhi's Narela area.
Two Accused Surrender, Confess to Killing
The accused were identified as Dinesh Kumar and Bhoop Singh, both residents of Ghoga village. In a significant development, the two men voluntarily approached the Narela police station and admitted to murdering 55-year-old Dharampal. They disclosed using a licensed revolver to commit the crime, which was subsequently seized by the police as crucial evidence.
Body Found with Gunshot Injuries
The victim's body was discovered near a tubewell situated on a property belonging to one of the accused, Dinesh Kumar. A preliminary examination revealed that Dharampal had sustained severe injuries on his neck and nose, consistent with a shooting. His son, 35-year-old Pardeep, later arrived and formally identified the body.
Forensic science played a key role in the investigation. Teams from the Forensic Science Laboratory (FSL) and the local crime unit conducted a thorough inspection of the site. Their objective was to collect and preserve all possible evidence to build a solid case against the confessed perpetrators.
Legal Action and Another Grisly Discovery
Based on the confession and evidence, the Delhi Police have registered a formal case. The charges have been framed under sections 103(1) (murder) and 3(5) (common intention) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). Additionally, Section 27 of the Arms Act has been invoked in connection with the use of the firearm.
In an unrelated but similarly grim incident, Delhi Police are also investigating another death. On the evening of December 29 last year, a man was found dead near the subway on Rohtak Road towards Punjabi Bagh. The deceased was lying on the footpath with visible ligature marks around his neck, leading investigators to treat the case as a possible homicide. This separate discovery underscores the varied law and order challenges faced in the region.
