New Delhi:
A man was shot dead inside a Burger King outlet in west Delhi’s Rajouri Garden last night in a shocking crime at one of the busiest parts of the national capital.
Three shooters walked into the fast food outlet and fired at least 15 shots at the victim, witnesses told the police. The shooters fled the spot in two-wheelers parked near the outlet.
The man suffered multiple bullet wounds and was rushed to a hospital, where doctors declared him dead.
The attack appeared to be linked to personal or professional enmity, the police said.
“We received a call at around 9.45 pm from Rajouri Garden. The beat officers responded and went to the spot. Later, special teams were mobilised,” said senior police officer Vichitra Veer.
“We are trying to establish the identities of the three shooters.”
Security footage is being scanned to identify the men. The police are also questioning the manager and staff of the Burger King outlet.
Reports suggested that the shooting followed an argument between two groups.
A Mercedes car parked near the outlet is also being traced. The police are investigating whether it was linked to the attackers.
