An 80-year-old retired Delhi Police officer, Rishal Singh, was severely wounded following a dramatic shooting incident in the Mundka area of outer Delhi. The attack, reportedly linked to a property dispute, saw two assailants fire multiple shots at Singh before escaping.

The incident unfolded at 1.15 pm, when Singh, at his plot for ongoing construction work, was targeted by two motorcycle-borne attackers. According to his son's statement, Sagar, a relative embroiled in the dispute, led the attack that left Singh battling injuries to his abdomen, shoulder, elbow, and leg.

Police have recovered around 10 empty cartridges from the scene and continue their investigation to apprehend the accused. The family had recently won a court case over the contested plot, which prompted the ongoing construction efforts.
