Woman shot during family fight over pizza in Delhi | Latest News Delhi

A 20-year-old woman was shot during a family fight triggered by her brother-in-law who offered her a slice of pizza for dinner in Seelampur, northeast Delhi, on Wednesday, police said, adding that the accused have been arrested and the victim is being treated in a hospital.

The victim was identified as Saadma, 20, said Deputy Commissioner of Police (Northeast) Rakesh Paweriya. Saadma married Mohammed Javed a year ago, and Javed’s older brother Mohammed Zeeshan is married to 21-year-old Sadia. Sadia did not approve of Saadma because she allegedly comes from a low-income family and the two women often fought, police said.

On Wednesday night, Zeeshan brought pizza for dinner and offered it to all the family members, but Sadia was unhappy that it was also offered to Saadma, police said. “She fought with Zeeshan for offering the pizza to Saadma and the fight escalated, involving all the family members,” said a police officer.

Sadia allegedly called her brothers Tafseer, 28, Shahzad, 22, Gulrej, 31, and Muntahir, 35, to her home. “When Sadia’s brothers arrived, the fight escalated even more and Muntahir fired a shot with a pistol he had brought,” said the police officer.

The bullet hit Saadma in the stomach and she fell, police said. She was taken to Guru Teg Bahadur Hospital where she is undergoing treatment.

“All four accused were arrested from the spot and further investigation is underway,” the DCP said.
