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.

Petrol pump worker killed as SUV hits motorcycle head-on in Gurugram
Gurugram (PTI): A petrol pump worker died after an SUV rammed into his motorcycle in the Sushant Lok area here, police said on Thursday.
The accused driver fled the scene, leaving the vehicle after the accident. An FIR has been registered at the Sushant Lok police station, they said.
According to police, the accident occurred on Wednesday afternoon when Mukesh was travelling from Sector 44 to Sushant Lok on Vyapar Kendra Road for some work.
Near Vyapar Kendra, a white Thar coming from the wrong side at high speed hit his motorcycle head-on, leaving him critically injured, they said.
The driver fled the scene, leaving the vehicle behind, police added.
Eyewitnesses claimed the vehicle had no number plates either at the front or rear.
Locals took Mukesh to a private hospital, where he died during treatment, police said. He was a resident of Rohta Patti in Palwal and worked at a petrol pump in Sector 44.
An FIR was registered against the unidentified driver, based on a complaint lodged by his brother Ashok. The body was handed over to the family after a post-mortem on Thursday, police said.
“The Thar vehicle has been seized from the spot. CCTV footage from the area is being examined, and the driver will be arrested soon,” a Gurugram police spokesperson said.
