Two killed as ‘parole party’ turns into bloodbath

New Delhi :  Six men gathered at a forested patch in Mehrauli on Wednesday evening to celebrate the parole of one of them, who was now out of jail. Hours later, two of them were shot dead by the other four who then fled the spot. While one succumbed to his injuries on the spot another managed to crawl to a nearby nallah (drain) bleeding profusely. It was around 9 p.m. when a man saw the injured person lying in a pool of blood and called police.
“On receipt of the information Police Staff reached the place of incident and it came to notice that CATS ambulance had already taken the unknown injured to AIIMS hospital where he was declared brought dead,” said Atul Thakur, DCP South Delhi.
On inspection of the spot, a lot of blood was found on a slab on the nallah near the wooded area where the injured was reportedly found lying by the caller. A blood-soaked mobile was also found there.
The rear end of the nallah leads towards the forested area and bloodstains were found all the way to a broken stone wall leading to the forest where also a lot of blood was found.
The analysis of footage from nearby CCTVs established that a total of six persons including the deceased had come there in a white car. After parking the vehicle near a vacant plot, they had proceeded towards the forested area.
Near the broken stone wall there, apart from the blood, empty bottles of liquor, water, and cigarettes were also found. On Thursday, the deceased person was identified as Abdul Ali, a resident of Geeta colony.
