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.

Itanagar (PTI): Eleven more bodies were retrieved on Saturday from the deep gorge in Arunachal Pradesh's Anjaw district, where a mini-truck on which 22 labourers from Assam were travelling fell, an official said.
With this, 17 bodies have been recovered from the accident site, Anjaw's deputy commissioner Milo Kojin said.
He said three more bodies will be brought out on Sunday.
The operation, being conducted by a joint team of the NDRF and Army, resumed at 6 am.

"The retrieval process was extremely difficult because of the treacherous terrain, and the gorge is very deep," Kojin said.
The operation was suspended around 4 pm due to low visibility and will be resumed on Sunday morning, he said.
"One person is still missing, and a search operation will be carried out tomorrow," he added.
The accident happened on the evening of December 8, around 40 km from Hayuliang towards Chaglagam in the district. On the evening of December 10, one survivor managed to climb out of the gorge and reach a nearby Border Roads Task Force (BRTF) labour camp, following which the authorities were alerted.
Six bodies were recovered from the gorge on Friday and handed over to their families on Saturday.
