NEW DELHI: A northeastern man was fired at and injured by two motorbike-riding masked assailants here Friday morning, police said.
The attack took place around 7 am near Sarai Kale Khan area in south Delhi when Ricky, 21, was heading towards Select Citywalk, a shopping mall in south Delhi, on his motorbike.
"Two bullets were fired at Ricky. The first one did not hit him but the second one pierced his right thigh," said a police official.
He was rushed to the Max Hospital in the Saket area of south Delhi where doctors described his condition to be stable.
A friend of the victim said Ricky may be discharged from the hospital by Friday evening.
