2 Sisters Shot Dead By Unidentified Assailants In Delhi
Guwahati: Two sisters were fatally murdered by an unidentified group of attackers early on Sunday in southwest Delhi’s R K Puram area after a dispute over a loan.
The deputy commissioner of police (southwest) Manoj C stated that the R K Puram police station had received a call at around 4.40 am notifying them of some individuals shooting the caller’s sisters.
He said that the main accused and his associate have been arrested by the police. “We received a PCR call around 4:40 am at RK Puram police station from a man stating that some people shot at his sisters at Ambedkar Basti,” the deputy commissioner of police said.
Meanwhile, the identities of the victims were established as Jyoti (30) and Pinky (29). They died while undergoing treatment at the Safdarjung Hospital.
The police said that the accused had come to attack the victims’ brother Lalit over the settlement of a loan. Lala, the brother of the two women said, “My elder brother, Lalit gave a loan to someone and yesterday he went to take it back where he had a heated argument with some people. He came back and we were sleeping when some people started knocking on our door at around 2.10 am. All my relatives, including my sisters, stayed in the same locality and I called them up for help. After sometime, all the attackers left. However, later, they returned, carrying weapons. They came to eliminate my brother, but my sisters came to rescue him and they shot them.”
Soon after the incident, a fictitious video of the alleged attack in which four to five attackers are seen cursing at the women before shooting them became viral.
Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal expressed his sympathies to the victims’ families and blamed the BJP-led Central government for maintaining peace and order in the city.
Kejriwal took to Twitter and wrote in Hindi, “The people of Delhi have started feeling very insecure. The people who have to handle the law and order of Delhi, instead of fixing the law and order, they are conspiring to capture the entire Delhi government. Today, if Delhi’s law and order was under AAP government instead of LG, then Delhi would have been safest.”
