New Delhi: A
31-year-old constable was
shot at by his
colleague with his service
revolver after the two had an
argument over some work-related issue at
Seempauri police station late on Friday.
The condition of constable Amod Bhadana was still critical. He underwent an operation at AIIMS trauma centre on Saturday.
Bhadana had come back from his beat duty and was having dinner at the Seemapuri police station. At 10.30pm, constable Ravinder Nagar also came to the police station and went to Bhadana’s room.
“They had an argument over some issue and all of sudden, Nagar took out his service pistol and fired at Bhadana. The bullet hit him in the chest. He was taken to Swami Dayanand Hospital from where he was referred to AIIMS trauma centre,” said Amit Sharma, DCP, Shahdara.
A case of attempt to murder was registered against Nagar and he was arrested. Even as senior police officers did not reveal the reason behind the argument, an officer posted at the police station stated that Bhadana was handed over the charge of the beat recently.
“Earlier it was Nagar who was handling that beat and he was angry as he thought it was Bhadana who played a role and got him removed from the beat,” said the officer.
