BJP councillor's brother shot dead in water dispute
New Delhi, June 15: The brother of a BJP councillor died in a hospital here on Friday after being shot by his neighbour as a dispute over a water connection turned violent, police said.
The incident took place in Sangam Vihar area of south Delhi around 8 p.m. on Thursday when Krishan Bhadana, 35, brother of BJP's Subhash Bhadana, and his family got into an altercation with Babli, 38, and his family, said Deputy Commissioner of Police, South, Romil Baaniya.
"Krishan wanted to seek a water connection from the Delhi Jal Board for his home to which Babli objected, which led to a quarrel," the police officer said.
Then, Babli and his family assaulted the Bhadanas with bricks and the issue snowballed as Babli summoned his associates and even opened fire at the other side.
"Krishan and his son Manish sustained gunshot injuries and their family members also got injured. Krishan died in hospital on Friday," he said.
Babli, who fired the gunshot, was also injured and admitted to Batra Hospital. He will be arrested once discharged, said Baaniya, adding that his two brothers -- Gagan and Kannu -- father Rampat and cousin Kaviraj have been arrested.

RS proceedings adjourned for day amid opposition protest over Adani bribery row, other issues
New Delhi(PTI): Rajya Sabha proceedings were adjourned for the day on Wednesday as opposition members insisted on a discussion on various issues, including bribery charges related to the Adani Group.
The proceedings were briefly adjourned in the morning session due to opposition protest, and when the House re-assembled at 11.30 AM, there were identical scenes.
This prompted Chairman Jagdeep Dhankhar to adjourn the proceedings for the day, saying the "House is not in order".
The trobule started after Dhankhar rejected 18 notices under a rule of the House to suspend scheduled business and take up issues mentioned in the notices.
The notices related to demand for 'constitution of a JPC to investigate the alleged misconduct, including corruption, bribery, financial irregularities of the Adani Group in connivance with other authorities', violence in Sambhal in Uttar Pradesh and rising incidents of crime in the national capital.
"Upper House needs to reflect and follow well-established traditions that ruling of the Chair requires reference and not cause differences. I have, in detail, given reasons why, in these situations, notices are not being accepted," Dhankhar said while rejecting the notices under Rule 267 of the House.
On Monday also, the Rajya Sabha proceedings were adjourned for the day during the morning session itself as opposition insisted on raising the issues related to Adani Group.
There was no sitting of the House on Tuesday.
The Adani Group said on Wednesday that Gautam Adani, and his nephew Sagar have not been charged with any violation of the US Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (FCPA) in the indictment that authorities filed in the New York court in an alleged bribery case.
