Three persons including a disc jockey (DJ) have been arrested here for opening firing at two persons after a fight broke out over song selection and requests to play a song repeatedly, police said on Monday.
According to the police, the incident occurred on Sunday night around 10.24 pm at a family function in west Delhi’s Palam Village.
Shanky Bhardwaj (23) and his cousin brother Tushar Bhardwaj (16) insisted Akshay, the DJ, to play the song ‘Tamanche Pe Disco…’ repeatedly, which led to a fight between them, a police officer said.
“When the police team reached the spot, they found the cousin brothers Shanky and Tushar lying in a pool of blood on the floor,” Deputy Commissioner of Police Devender Arya said.
“They were taken to a hospital in Dwarka where they are undergoing treatment and their condition is out of danger as declared by the doctors,” Arya said.
“The accused persons have been identified as DJ Akshay (19), his employers Sanjay Sharma (29) and his brother Ashish Sharma (23), were arrested on Monday from their hideouts in west Delhi in separate police raids,” Joint Commissioner of Police (New Delhi range) Ajay Choudhary said.
“All the accused persons and victims are neighbours. During celebration at the family function, both Bhardwaj brothers along with their friends while dancing on floor have verbal argument with Akshay over playing of songs,” Choudhary said.
“Akshay later informed his employers, Sanjay Sharma and Ashish Sharma, who attacked and fired at Shanky and Tushar. The victims suffered bullet injuries on their abdomen,” police said.
