A man and his nephew were shot dead while celebrating Diwali outside their house in Delhi's Shahdara on Thursday. A 17-year-old boy, who hired the shooter over a money dispute, has been detained, the police said.
The incident occurred in Shahdara's Farsh Bazar area around 8 pm and was caught on CCTV.
In the video, the man, 44-year-old Akash Sharma, his nephew, Rishabh Sharma (16), and son, Krish Sharma (15), were seen bursting firecrackers on the narrow road outside their house.
The 17-year-old boy is then seen coming on a two-wheeler and touching the feet of Mr Sharma, while the shooter stands there.
Seconds later, the shooter fired about five bullets at Mr Sharma, killing him and injuring his son. As his nephew ran after the shooters, he was also shot dead.
Police said the teen, a distant relative of Mr Sharma, had lent him about Rs 70,000 a month ago. Mr Sharma, however, was neither returning the money nor picking up his calls.
"The accused had planned the murder 17 days ago," a senior police official said.
A case of attempt to murder was already filed against the minor, while Mr Sharma had sent several cases, including rape and murder against him and his brother, Yogesh Sharma, who is Rishabh's father, the police officer said.
