A 24-year-old man was shot dead late Friday night outside Mr King Lounge and Cafe in Delhi’s Shahadara, triggering panic in the area. The killing also led to a strong police presence in the area.

The deceased, identified as Faizan, was allegedly attacked by a father and son, with investigators suspecting that a financial dispute over an unpaid loan may have led to the killing.

According to Delhi Police, the incident was reported shortly before midnight. In an official statement, the police said, “A firing incident was reported at PS Welcome at 11.28 pm today. On reaching the spot at ‘Mr King Lounge and Cafe’, Maujpur, one injured person, identified as Faizan @ Fazzi (24yrs.) S/o Sehroj Alam R/o JMC Welcome, was found. He was immediately shifted to GTB Hospital, where he was declared ‘brought dead’ by the attending doctors."

Police officials added that evidence is being gathered and legal action has been initiated. The statement read, “The forensic team is collecting evidence from the spot.

Victim’s Brother Recounts Brutal Attack

Speaking about the violence inflicted on his brother, the victim’s brother described the incident in detail, saying, “My brother was shot three times, but the police said that two magazine rounds were fired. One bullet hit him in the head and went right through. Two bullets hit him in the chest. He was also probably stabbed. He had cuts on his hands, so he must have struggled a lot."

He also spoke about the circumstances that may have escalated into the fatal attack, stating, “Faizan was a very simple man, and he had taken a loan. When he couldn’t repay it, the father and son came to our house and started fighting. We had even filed a complaint at the Bhajanpura police station, but nothing happened."

Calling for swift action, the brother expressed his anguish, saying, “We just want justice. We want both the father and son to be arrested, and the strictest possible action taken against them. The police say they are on the run."
