17-Year-Old Shot at Delhi Eatery After Dispute Over Chair, Suspect ApprehendedPreviousNext

A 17-year-old boy was critically injured after being shot at a restaurant in South East Delhi's Amar Colony on May 26 following an argument over a group of boys touching his chair. The victim, dining with friends including a girl, objected to the act, leading to a confrontation. The group left but returned minutes later, and one assailant fired a single bullet, hitting the boy in the head. He was initially treated at Moolchand Hospital and then shifted to AIIMS Trauma Centre, where he remains on ventilator support. Police have apprehended one minor suspect and are analyzing CCTV footage to identify others involved. The investigation is ongoing.
