A 17-year-old boy was critically injured after being shot in the head at Amar Colony market in South Delhi on Tuesday evening following an argument.
The incident occurred around 7 pm on Tuesday when the boy was sitting outside an eatery with a school friend. Police said an argument broke out with three men after one touched the boy's chair. The matter appeared resolved after an apology but one man returned minutes later and fired at him.
The injured boy was taken to Moolchand Hospital and later shifted to AIIMS Trauma Centre where his condition remains critical. His friend is being counselled.
Eyewitnesses told police the accused had allegedly passed objectionable comments but officers are verifying the sequence. The three men fled on foot. Police are scanning CCTV footage from the area.
