A man and his nephew were shot dead by a man while they were celebrating Diwali outside their residence in Delhi’s Shahdara on Thursday.
A 16-year-old boy has been detained in the case who had hired the shooter, the police said.
The incident, which was caught on CCTV, occurred in Shahdara’s Farsh Bazar area around 8 pm.
In the video, the man, 44-year-old Akash Sharma, his nephew, Rishabh Sharma (16), and son, Krish Sharma (10), were seen bursting firecrackers on the narrow road outside their house.
The 16-year-old boy is then seen coming on a two-wheeler and touching the feet of Mr Sharma, while the shooter stands there.
Seconds later, the shooter fires about five rounds of bullets at Mr Sharma, killing him and injuring his son. As his nephew ran after the shooters, he was also shot dead.
Police said the teen had lent money to Mr Sharma and he was not returning it.
Some cases have also been registered against Mr Sharma and his family in the past, the police said.
