A man fired a shot inside the store of a 31-year-old man Monday evening allegedly after he was asked to return the money he had borrowed from the shopkeeper, the Delhi Police said.
According to the police, they received a call about a firing at Delhi's Virat Market on Monday.
The police rushed to the spot in the national capital's Dakshinpuri area where they met the complainant - Amit, a senior police officer said.
Around 5 pm when Amit and his friend were present at the shop, the accused - Sandeep - came in with his friends. Amit asked him to return the money which he had given another person through Sandeep. But he refused to return the money, the officer said.
