17-Year-Old Shot After Argument at Amar Colony Eatery in Delhi; Juvenile ArrestedPreviousNext

A 17-year-old boy was critically injured after being shot at a restaurant in South East Delhi's Amar Colony following an argument. The dispute began when a group of boys allegedly brushed against or touched the victim's chair, leading to a confrontation. The group left but returned minutes later, and one of them fired a bullet, hitting the teenager in the head. He was initially treated at Moolchand Hospital and then referred to AIIMS Trauma Centre, where he remains in critical but stable condition. Police have apprehended a juvenile suspect and are investigating, analyzing CCTV footage and conducting raids to identify other accused individuals.
