A 21-year-old man lost his life, and another was injured in a shocking incident involving a Delhi Police head constable. The deadly confrontation in Jaffarpur Kalan village on Sunday initially stemmed from alleged casteist remarks.

The victim, identified as Pandav Kumar, was a food delivery agent who had attended a child's birthday party. Following the celebrations, Kumar and his friend Krishan were engaged in a roadside conversation when the alleged perpetrator, Neeraj, opened fire after a brief argument.

The police are investigating the incident, with the accused yet to be apprehended. The shooting has sparked demands for justice from the victim's family, who claim the attack was unprovoked and driven by prejudice.
