Shop Owner Shot in Nizamuddin: Police Investigate Possible Eviction Motive

A shop owner in Nizamuddin was seriously injured when a group of men opened fire on him, police reported on Saturday. The attack occurred late Friday night, around 11 pm, prompting a swift medical response as the wounded man was rushed to a hospital where he is currently undergoing treatment.

According to a senior police officer, the incident might be tied to a recent conflict involving the shop owner and his tenant. The owner had forced the tenant to vacate the premises about 15 days ago, an action that may have motivated the attack. Authorities continue to probe the situation for further insights.

The police are investigating potential motives as they gather more information and analyze evidence that could shed light on the sequence of events leading up to the shooting.
