A man was injured after 16 rounds were fired at a petrol pump in Delhi's Gokulpuri on Thursday night. Police said that four people came on two bikes into the petrol pump, opened fire at the office cabin and fled.
As the firing ensued at Mukul Diesel Petrol Pump at 10.38 pm, the supervisor Anshul Rathi sustained injuries on his stomach after glass shards hit him. He was rushed to GTB Hospital for treatment. After the firing, one bike fled towards Gokulpuri and the other towards Loni roundabout. The pump owner Harish Chaudhary of Gokulpuri suspects old village rivalry, Delhi Police said.
Police said that Harish Chaudhary whose petrol pump was targeted has a few cases pending against him. Further probe is going on.
