GURGAON: The wife and 18-year-old son of a judge were shot at by his personal security officer in a busy market in Gurgaon this afternoon. Both have been taken to a hospital where sources say, the son is critical. The wife is reportedly out of danger.
The incident took place around 3:30 pm near Arcadia Market in Sector 49, Gurgaon, where the wife and son of additional sessions judge Krishan Kant Sharma had gone shopping.
The gunman first shot the wife and then the son, in front of several eyewitnesses. Immediately after that, he tried to drag the judge's son in the car. But when he couldn't, he left the judge's son on the road and drove away in the same car that they had come to the market in, show video footage captured by eyewitnesses from their cellphones.
On his way, he called the judge to say, "I have shot your wife and son". He made two more calls telling people about the shooting.
The injured have been identified as Ritu (38) and Dhruv.
The gunman, Mahipal Singh, had been posted with the judge for the past two years.
After shooting at them, Mahipal reached a police station where he fired again, before escaping from the spot. The Station House Officer tried to capture him but in vain. He was arrested from Faridabad road a little while later.
"An additional sessions judge's wife and son were shot at. They have been admitted and the doctors have taken them for a procedure," said DCP Gurgaon (East).
The police say they are interrogating Mahipal to determine the reason behind the shooting.
Initial investigations suggest that he was suffering from depression and was upset at the "misbehaviour" by the judge's family.

Panaji (PTI): As part of a crackdown against tourist establishments violating laws and safety norms in the aftermath of the Arpora fire tragedy, Goa authorities on Saturday sealed a renowned club at Vagator and revoked the fire department NOC of another club.
Cafe CO2 Goa, located on a cliff overlooking the Arabian Sea at Vagator beach in North Goa, was sealed. The move came two days after Goya Club, also in Vagator, was shut down for alleged violations of rules.
Elsewhere, campaigning for local body polls, AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal said the fire incident at Birch by Romeo Lane nightclub at Arpora, which claimed 25 lives on December 6, happened because the BJP government in the state was corrupt.
An inspection of Cafe CO2 Goa by a state government-appointed team revealed that the establishment, with a seating capacity of 250, did not possess a no-objection certificate (NOC) of the Fire and Emergency Services Department. The club, which sits atop Ozrant Cliff, also did not have structural stability, the team found.
The Fire and Emergency Services on Saturday also revoked the NOC issued to Diaz Pool Club and Bar at Anjuna as the fire extinguishers installed in the establishment were found to be inadequate, said divisional fire officer Shripad Gawas.
A notice was issued to Nitin Wadhwa, the partner of the club, he said in the order.
Campaigning at Chimbel village near Panaji in support of his party's Zilla Panchayat election candidate, Aam Aadmi Party leader Kejriwal said the nightclub fire at Arpora happened because of the "corruption of the Pramod Sawant-led state government."
"Why this fire incident happened? I read in the newspapers that the nightclub had no occupancy certificate, no building licence, no excise licence, no construction licence or trade licence. The entire club was illegal but still it was going on," he said.
"How could it go on? Couldn't Pramod Sawant or anyone else see it? I was told that hafta (bribe) was being paid," the former Delhi chief minister said.
A person can not work without bribing officials in the coastal state, Kejriwal said, alleging that officers, MLAs and even ministers are accepting bribes.
