Delhi police reported two shooting incidents on Wednesday in Paschim Vihar and Dwarka, where assailants targeted a grocery store and a car workshop. Luckily, there were no injuries.

According to the police, three individuals fired shots at a grocery store (Raj Mandir Hypermarket) in the Meera Bagh area of outer Delhi on Wednesday.

An officer remarked, "Around 2:30 PM, a call was received at the Paschim Vihar West Police Station reporting the firing incident. Following the alert, local police teams arrived at the scene promptly."

During the investigation, the police learned that the complainant was at work in his shop when three masked men on motorcycles opened fire at the premises and fled. The crime team inspected the scene, and a case was registered based on the complainant's statement.

In another violent episode, three motorcyclists opened fire at a car workshop in Najafgarh, Dwarka, Delhi.

Police stated that a PCR call was received at around 4:15 PM at the Chhawla Police Station concerning this incident. The workshop owner, Joginder Singh (46), explained to the police that two of his employees were present when two intruders stormed the shop.

One suspect remained on the motorcycle, while the two others, who had their faces masked, began shooting at a parked car inside the workshop, firing five rounds.

Suspicions have arisen that the Nandu gang's Kapil Sangwan is behind these shootings. Investigations are ongoing. Although separate incidents, four shootings have been reported in the last 48 hours.
