A 26-year-old man allegedly shot at his parents after an argument at a posh residential complex in Southwest Delhi’s Dwarka subcity on Monday.
“A case of attempt to murder registered at Dwarka North police station but the accused, identified as Amit, is still at large,” said DCP (Southwest) RA Sanjeev.
According to police, Amit’s parents Brahm Prakash (49) and Savita Devi (45) had come to his apartment at Platinum Heights complex in Dwarka Sector 18, where Amit lives with his wife and children, around 12.30 AM to discuss some family matter.
Sources said Brahm Prakash owns three wine shops in Gurgaon and lives in Ramphal Chowk with his wife and other three sons.
He has a financial dispute with Amit. “On Sunday night, Brahm Prakash accompanied by his wife came to take a car which Amit got in his marriage. They had brought a crane as well,” said a police officer.
Amit knew that his parents would come and stood on the balcony of his first floor apartment to confront them. Once they reached the complex, a fight broke out between Amit and his parents.
The argument continued for a few minutes— with Brahm Prakash and Sabita Devi on the ground floor and Amit on his balcony — after which Amit went inside his room and returned with a gun.
Amit allegedly fired several rounds. While two bullets hit his father in the hip and thigh, one hit her mother in the leg. Amit fled the scene by the time other residents gathered around and called up the police control room.
Police rushed the couple to a hospital, from where they were later moved to a private hospital in Gurgaon. Their condition is reported to be stable.
