The Delhi Police apprehended three individuals on Tuesday following the fatal shooting of a 25-year-old man, Mohammad Afroz, in Kanjhawala. This incident allegedly stemmed from an argument amid a drinking session, according to official statements.

A report of gunfire was received around 6:55 am near Mahavir Vihar. Responding officers discovered Afroz with gunshot wounds to the back of his head and chest at an empty lot. His brother Azad registered a complaint, leading to murder and joint liability charges under the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita.

The investigation identified friends of Afroz—Rohit, Sandeep, and Lucky—as suspects. A raid conducted on a tip-off resulted in their arrest and the seizure of a country-made pistol. Rohit reportedly confessed to the crime, stating Sandeep and Lucky's complicity. Official inquiries continue.
