Multiple shootings

Just days ahead of the Delhi Assembly polls, multiple shooting incidents have led to vehement criticism from the opposition parties. The first incident took place on January 30, when a person opened fire injuring a protester in the Jamia Nagar area. Thereafter, another individual indulged in aerial firing near the Shaheen-Jasola area on February 1, when the Union Budget was presented. While the accused were apprehended by the police, many opposition parties such as Congress blamed MoS Finance Anurag Thakur for creating the atmosphere of hate by his ‘Gun down traitors’ remark.
