Gurugram:

A man was shot at and injured in Gurugram by three people whom he had removed from a WhatsApp group of pet owners following a war of words over the death of a canine, police said.

The shooting incident took place on February 26. The victim, identified as Rajkamal, suffered injuries in his hand and stomach.

The three accused were arrested and produced before a court on Thursday. They were sent to judicial custody.

The accused were identified as Hitesh alias David (23), a javelin thrower, Anand Kumar (26), who runs a tennis academy in Noida, and Bhupender alias Bheem (30), a toll plaza employee.

A country-made pistol along with two cartridges and a Swift car have been recovered from their possession, the police said.

Giving details of the case, police officer said Preet Pal Singh Sangwan said that about a month ago, the dog of Anand Kumar died during a dogfighting.

"Some sarcastic messages were shared in the WhatsApp group and a war of words started. After that, Rajkamal expelled the accused from the group and Anand developed a grudge against Rajkamal.

"...on February 26, when they met in BasPadamka village, the accused shot Rajkamal. The bullet hit Rajkamal in his hand and stomach," the police officer said.
