A Delhi-based builder sustained injuries after a bullet was allegedly fired from a licensed pistol in a car in southwest Delhi’s Kishangarh on Tuesday, according to police sources.
The incident occurred when the man was sitting in the front seat of the car, which had arrived at a car market for repairs. A police security officer, who was traveling with him, picked up a pistol kept behind the seat while getting out of the vehicle.
The pistol allegedly went off accidentally as the security officer was handling it, resulting in the injury to the builder. The injured man was immediately rushed to a hospital for treatment.
Police have seized the weapon and are currently questioning the security officer involved in the incident. Authorities are investigating whether the firing was indeed accidental or part of a conspiracy, a police source revealed.
