Man shot dead in Outer Delhi

An abduction bid went horribly wrong for the perpetrators, when they accidentally shot dead one of their accomplices this morning in Outer Delhi's Narela area, police said today.
26-year-old Praveen was shot at during a scuffle between his three other accomplices and a businessman, Ramesh Kumar (42), whom they were trying to abduct around 8 am today, police said.
"Ramesh was on his way to work when the armed assailants including Praveen interjected his car and asked him to alight. A scuffle ensued during which one of the abductors opened fire which pierced through Praveen's head, killing him on the spot," a police official said.

The other three abductors fled from the spot leaving Praveen behind in a pool of blood, they said.
Ramesh, who resides in Narela, told the police that he had no personal enmity with anyone. A case has been registered at Narela police station of Outer Delhi.
"The other three assailants have been identified and a manhunt is on to nab them. We are yet to verify the criminal background of the deceased," the official said.
