Delhi Police launches an investigation
While the Delhi Police confirmed that they have launched a thorough investigation and further details are awaited as the case unfolds, the officials, however, informed that the initial investigations suggest a possible motive related to a dispute between the victim and his tenant, Munna, who resides on the first floor of the same property.
Munna had allegedly refused to vacate the rented portion of the house, leading to ongoing tensions with Shahid. The police added that Munna’s sons, Chand and Imran, are currently suspected of being involved in the attack.
