New Delhi [India], July 14: Delhi Police have arrested one person and apprehended three others in connection with a firing incident in Lajpat Nagar, Delhi. The arrested person has been identified as Abhishek Taneja, alias Piddi. One pistol and two live cartridges were recovered from his possession.
According to the police, Lajpat Nagar Police Station received a PCR call informing them that 4-5 people had assaulted and opened fire on a person. Local police immediately reached the spot and found that Abhishek Sagar, alias Katiya, was injured. He had been assaulted with sticks and one round was fired at his leg. The injured had been taken to the hospital by his friends.
Following initial inquiries, analysis of CCTV footage in the area, and thorough examination of the scene of the crime, the sequence of events was determined and the accused were identified. Several police teams were formed to nab the culprits. The teams raided several places, but the suspects were not at their possible hideouts.

The efforts bore fruit, and Abhishek Taneja, alias Piddi, was arrested in the Ashram area of Delhi. One pistol and two live cartridges were recovered from his possession. Three CCLs (Child in Conflict with Law) who were involved in beating the victim with sticks were also apprehended.
According to the police, Piddi is an associate of Rohit Chaudhary and earlier they were associates of Subegh Singh, alias Shibu.
