The elder brother of a BJP candidate for MCD elections was injured after being shot at by unidentified persons in northeast Delhi’s Welcome area.
The victim’s brother, KK Aggarwal, who is contesting elections from Gautampuri ward 43E, said it was an act of political rivalry, even as police suspected it to be a robbery attempt as the attackers fled with a bag containing Rs 22,000.
Aggarwal said the attackers had threatened his brother, Satyaprakash Garg (58), saying, “We will teach you how to do politics”, and added that a bag containing money had been snatched from his brother.
