The victim, identified as Chetan Prakash Sharma has suffered a bullet injury in his hand and is said to be out of danger. Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal accompanied by Delhi Home Minister Satyendra Jain and AAP MlA Somnath Bharti visited him and assured him of security and a fair trial in the case.
