Road rage incident: 3 shot at near Red Fort in New Delhi
New Delhi, Feb 1: Three men were injured after they were shot at by a group during an incident of road rage near the Red Fort area in north Delhi, police said on Tuesday.
The injured have been identified as Aabid, Aman and Difaraz, police said, adding that they received injuries on their leg, thigh and back and are under treatment at a hospital.
Their condition is stated to be fine, they said.
According to the police, the incident took place on Monday night when Mohammad Shahid, engaged in supplying motor parts, was returning home on his two-wheeler after having dinner with his wife.
When he reached near his house in Angoori Bagh area, two men on a two-wheeler coming from the opposite direction, accidently brushed past Shahid's vehicle causing minor damages, the police said.
This led to an argument between them. Shahid asked the two men to get his vehicle repaired. Locals of Angoori Bagh area also gathered. One of the two men called his brother who also arrived at the spot along with his associates, a senior police official said.
The locals caught hold of the men. To escape from the spot, the two men whose vehicles had brushed past Shahid's two-wheeler, along with their associates opened fire. They fired five rounds -- one in the air and four aimed at the locals, he said.
The police said the bullets hit three men, including Shahid's brother Aabid, and two others who had intervened. All of them were taken to a nearby hospital where they are being treated, police said.
The police said the incident, captured on CCTV cameras, helped them identify the accused and ascertain the sequence of events.
Deputy Commissioner of Police (North) Sagar Singh Kalsi said a case of attempt to murder (307) of the Indian Penal Code and Arms Act has been registered.

Thumbay Group begins work on Sharjah’s first private integrated psychiatric, rehabilitation hospital
Sharjah: Thumbay Group has laid the foundation stone for the Thumbay Psychiatric and Rehabilitation Hospital at Sharjah Healthcare City, a 120-bed facility that the company says will be the region’s first private, fully integrated hospital dedicated to psychiatric care, neuro-rehabilitation and addiction recovery.
The groundbreaking ceremony was led by Dr. Abdelaziz Saeed Al Mheiri, who is also a member of the Sharjah Executive Council, in the presence of Dr. Thumbay Moideen.
Spread across 110,000 square feet, the hospital is being developed to address growing demand for specialised mental health and rehabilitation services in the UAE and the wider Gulf region.
The facility will include inpatient and outpatient services in psychiatry, neuro-rehabilitation, addiction treatment, child and adolescent mental health, and care for mood and anxiety disorders. It will also feature VIP inpatient villas designed to provide privacy and support long-term recovery.
A mosque, named the Thumbay Masjid, will be constructed within the campus and will be open to the public.
The hospital is being designed to meet standards for Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF), an internationally recognised accreditation system for rehabilitation facilities.
Speaking at the event, Dr. Abdelaziz Saeed Al Mheiri said the project reflects Sharjah’s commitment to strengthening healthcare infrastructure in all aspects of wellbeing.
“Mental health and rehabilitation have long needed dedicated infrastructure, and we are proud to support a private partner whose vision matches the ambition of this Emirate,” he said.
Dr. Thumbay Moideen said the project was a response to a growing need for specialised mental healthcare services in the region.
“We have spent over three decades building healthcare in this region, and the one conversation that has grown louder every year is mental health. Families have been carrying this quietly for too long. This hospital is our answer. It is purpose-built, not retrofitted, and it has been designed around dignity, recovery, and outcomes that families can trust,” he said.
Construction is scheduled to begin in June 2026, and the hospital is expected to become operational by mid-2027.
Once completed, the facility will become part of Thumbay Group’s network of healthcare, education and diagnostic institutions across the UAE.
