A property dealer was brutally gunned down inside his Fortuner car in a daring morning attack in outer Delhi’s Paschim Vihar on Friday, sending shockwaves through the neighborhood. Unknown assailants fired 8 to 10 rounds at the vehicle around 7:30 AM before fleeing, leaving residents in panic.
Police, alerted by a PCR call, rushed the victim to a nearby hospital, where he was declared dead on arrival. Though his identity remains undisclosed, initial probes confirm he was a property dealer. The motive is unclear, but authorities suspect personal enmity may be a factor.
CCTV footage from the area is being scoured to identify the attackers, with multiple police teams deployed to crack the case. “We’re working swiftly to apprehend the culprits,” a senior officer said, expressing confidence in an imminent breakthrough. A forensics team is also analyzing the crime scene to gather evidence.
The brazen nature of the attack, with rapid gunfire targeting the stationary vehicle, has raised concerns about rising audacity in Delhi’s criminal underbelly. Police have registered a case and vowed to deliver justice for the victim, whose death marks a grim addition to the city’s violent crime tally.
