A property dealer was shot at and grievously injured in his Geeta Colony residence in East Delhi, police said today.
According to the police, the assailant has been identified as one Bunty who is known to the victim. He is still at large.
Police said Bunty had come to meet Gurjeet, a property dealer in the area, at his house around midnight on Wednesday. During the meeting, the duo had a heated argument related to financial issues, following which Bunty opened fire at him which hit him in his leg, said a senior police officer.
Bunty is absconding after the incident.
