April 26, 2026: A Delhi Police constable allegedly shot dead a food delivery agent and injured another man following a late-night altercation in the Dwarka area of the capital on Sunday.
The incident took place in Jafarpur Kalan, where Rupesh, a daily wage labourer, was hosting a small gathering to celebrate his son’s second birthday. Around 20 guests had attended the party, and most had begun leaving after the cake-cutting ceremony.
At approximately 2:00 am, a group of six people remained outside, some seated on two-wheelers while waiting for cabs. It was then that the accused, identified as Neeraj—a tenant living about 50 metres away—approached them and reportedly got into an argument over a minor issue.
