A 55-year-old woman was shot at by two bike-borne assailants when they were trying to snatch her gold chain in East Delhi’s Geeta Colony area. The incident occurred on Sunday evening when the victim was returning home after attending a marriage function in Greater Kailash and now she has been admitted at Max hospital and her condition is stated to be critical.
Police said the victim, Jayashree was returning home along with her husband Gulshan, who is an auto-rickshaw driver after attending a wedding ceremony when the incident occurred.
“The incident took place when her husband was driving the auto-rickshaw and she was sitting at the passenger’s seat. They were waylaid by the bikers. After intercepting them, one of the biker then tried to snatch the gold chain she was wearing. When Jayshree resisted their attempt, the other biker allegedly whipped out a pistol and shot her before fleeing the spot,” the officer added.
