A young man identified as Deepak Sharma was shot dead in the Jahangirpuri area of Delhi. The shooting is believed to be the result of a personal rivalry, escalating into violence.

He was rushed to the hospital in critical condition, where doctors declared him dead.

"Information was received from the BJRM Hospital regarding a man brought with multiple bullet injuries, who was declared dead," a senior police officer said.

He said subsequently, information was received from the hospital regarding the admission of two men -- Narendra and Suraj -- with bullet injuries.

A police team was rushed to the spot for a detailed investigation, the officer added.

A preliminary inquiry revealed that there was a verbal spat between Deepak, his brother and others, and Narendra and Suraj at a park.

"Both the parties opened fire at each other. Deepak sustained injuries on his neck, both legs and on his back. Narendra was hit by a bullet in his back and Suraj received injuries in his leg.
