A suspected burglar was shot at last week after a security guard at a construction site in north Delhi allegedly opened fire to scare him away, police said on Monday.
Two men reached the site at Narela around 11 pm last Thursday. One of them jumped the boundary wall, while the other one was standing outside. When the man lifted an iron bar, the security guard at the site raised an alarm and he immediately jumped outside, according to the police.
The watchman fired a round and the two men ran away from the spot, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Outer-North) Gaurav Sharma said. "The security guard did not inform the police regarding the incident since he was unaware whether the bullet hit someone or not."
