Wife, Son Of Judge Shot At By His Guard On Busy Street In Gurgaon
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.

PM Modi and myself don't have 'wife issue': Rahul Gandhi
New Delhi (PTI): In a friendly banter, Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi on Friday said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi and he didn’t have "the wife issue", as the Congress MP emphasised that everyone has learnt from women in their lives.
Participating in a debate in the Lok Sabha on the three bills introduced for amendments to the women's quota law and setting up a delimitation commission, Gandhi said women are a driving force in the national imagination and national perspective.
"All of us in this room have been influenced, taught, and have learnt a lot from women in our lives – from mothers, sisters, wives," Gandhi said.
"Of course, the prime minister and myself don't have the wife issue, so we don't get that input, but we have our mothers and sisters," he said while referring to Parliamentary Affairs Minister Kiren Rijiju's light-hearted remark that he got a scolding at home as he did not pen a poem for his wife like Union minister Arjun Ram Meghwal did.
Gandhi also lauded his sister and Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi's speech in the Lok Sabha on Thursday.
"Yesterday, I was watching my sister achieve in five minutes what I have not been able to do in 20 years of my political career – make Amit Shah Ji smile," Gandhi said to peals of laughter.
