Man shot dead in Delhi for objecting to foul language

New Delhi:  A man was shot dead in Delhi’s Kalyanpuri locality on Tuesday by some unidentified men, purportedly for objecting to their use of foul language.

The victim has been identified as Jaspal, a resident of the same area.

Sources said that the incident took place when some men in a car were using bad language which was objected to by Jaspal. This angered the men who fired at Jaspal. The firing took place just 500 m from the local police station.

The police said that the cause of the murder was being ascertained. A criminal, Guddu, has been detained and investigations were underway.

Police recovered a damaged motorbike from the spot, which was said to belong to the criminals involved in the incident.
