A police team immediately rushed to MV Hospital, where a 27-year-old man identified as Sachin, a resident of Pooth Khurd village, was pronounced dead with a gunshot wound to his chest.
Forensic teams and investigating officers dispatched to the crime scene inspected the victim's family cowshed (gaushala).

As officers expanded their search radius, they uncovered a second body lying in a narrow street approximately 100 meters away from the cowshed. The second deceased individual was identified as Sonu alias Pradeep, who was also a resident of Pooth Khurd village.
CCTV Evidence Reveals Retaliatory Murder

The investigation revealed that a heated altercation had taken place between Sonu alias Pradeep and Sachin inside the cowshed. During the confrontation, Sonu brandished a firearm and shot Sachin in the chest, causing fatal injuries.
Upon discovering his brother's shooting, Sachin's brother Naresh confronted Sonu.

Interrogation is currently underway to ascertain the primary trigger and motive behind the initial dispute.
Separate Incident: Minor Found Dead in Moti Nagar Changing Room
In a separate incident in Delhi, police initiated an investigation after the body of a 16-year-old girl was recovered from the changing room of a commercial store in Moti Nagar. The victim was employed at the establishment where her body was discovered. Police officers dispatched to the spot secured the location and sent the body for a post-mortem examination to determine the exact cause of death.
