A 21-year-old food delivery agent, Pandav Kumar, was killed and his friend injured when a Delhi Police head constable opened fire after 'hurling casteist abuses' at them during an argument on Sunday.
The deceased and his friend Krishan were standing on a road in Delhi's Jaffarpur Kalan village when the accused, Neeraj, allegedly opened fire from point-blank range following an argument with them.
Kumar was hit in the chest, and the bullet pierced through him and injured Krishan, who is now undergoing treatment.
Police sources said Neeraj is posted with the Delhi Police Special Cell, but Kumar's family alleged that Neeraj is a head constable with the Delhi Police.
Kumar's family alleged that Neeraj objected to Kumar standing on the road with his friends and asked him about his caste, and that he immediately fled from the spot after shooting.
A case has been registered against the absconding accused, and efforts are on to nab him.
